she's been getting interviewedeverywhere.

Mig (01:52):
That's stupid, it is dude.
Social media Just goes to showyou where society's going man.

Lano (01:57):
Well, speaking of that, I don't want to talk politics, but
the debate was kind of crazy.
I don't know I liked it, I know, I know, but I don't know what
you guys did like with ourpresident right now.

Mig (02:10):
He needs to go your president.
He needs like I don't know.
He needs like I didn't vote forthat dog.

Lano (02:15):
Face pony, it's kind of like it's for like our enemies
to see that.
Let's say our enemies see thatdebate and be like this guy's in
charge.

Mig (02:25):
Like, like, like now's the time to attack.
They've been sitting there forthe past three years yeah, so
this is crazy I mean, I don'tknow if you still think he's
right in the head.

Lano (02:38):
I don't know well, I mean they're, they're turning on him,
but um, yeah, so now I'msurprised cnn is turning on him.

Rick (02:44):
see the thing now.

Mig (02:45):
I'm surprised CNN is turning on them, See the thing
with me, though, dude, isthey're such low, conniving,
sneaky that I don't know whatthey're up to, why they're
running out of time Exactly.
So what the hell are they up to?

(03:05):
What are they going to springat the last minute, but
something's in the works.
I'm waiting for it.
I'm waiting for it to drop.
Yeah, you know, I'm waiting forit to drop and see what the
hell they're going to do.
Yeah.
You know, because, as of rightnow, dude, they're done, there's
no way, there's no way they hadplanned it this way I find it
hard to believe that they let itget to this point with as much

(03:26):
control that they have.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yeah.
And as much that they'rewilling to manipulate, to let it
go off the rails like this.

Mig (03:34):
Yeah, it's got to be planned.

Lano (03:36):
Right, so they have something waiting, yeah, and
then they were saying Newsom wasout there.
And why was he out there?
Is it going to be the surprisebig?

Mig (03:46):
Nah, because Newsom Went on CNN and they had Adam Carolla
on there.
Oh dude.
Adam.

Lano (03:52):
Carolla ripped him a new.
A Carolla has his number man,surprisingly, I haven't heard
anything about him, carolla Anew ass.
Surprisingly, I haven't heardnothing about Harris the VP.

Rick (04:08):
Kamala yeah.

Lano (04:10):
I mean, no one's talking about her Bringing her up or
whatever.

Mig (04:13):
She's gonna do.
She's gonna do Haktua part 2.

Lano (04:22):
Forget it.
The politics aside, the worstthing About being sick Was, um,
like being sick, like Likestuffed up nose and then having
to be Like a heat wave, like hot, oh yeah.

Rick (04:33):
Yeah.

Lano (04:34):
Like, just like you know you're, you're trying to like
Snuggle, it's hot, like you putthe air On.

Rick (04:38):
It's too cold.

Lano (04:39):
It kind of calmed down, no A little bit the heat a little
bit like maybe today, but yeah,I mean if anything, I hate being
sick when it's hot.

Mig (04:47):
It sucks, it's the worst I gotta be spraying down the dogs.

Rick (04:50):
I bought a fly spray or even ointment to put on their
ears.

Lano (04:54):
All the flies and stuff.

Rick (04:55):
Yeah yeah, because they're all.

Lano (04:57):
They're all like red, they're blood.

Rick (04:58):
Yeah, because as it is already hot, and then they gotta
have these damn flies all theflies, chewing them up.

Lano (05:05):
So what'd you get, a mister?

Rick (05:08):
It's like a horse spray.
No, no, no, it's a horse sprayout of a spray bottle.
You just spray them down behindthe neck, top of the head, and
then the ointment I put on theirears.
It's a clear ointment, you knowwhat's been working at the
house, keeps them up pretty good, laura.

Mig (05:23):
Our sister bought these.
It's the stupidest lookingthing, dude.
The fans yeah, those fans, andthey're working Because she has
them all over the porch.
They're just little fans withtwo blades.
They're reflective and theyhave like a dot on the end of
one of the blades and so theyjust, they just spin but like

(05:47):
the wind, the wind blows them,or they're motorized.

Lano (05:48):
No, no, no, they're motorized, they're rechargeable.

Mig (05:50):
Yeah, you recharge them Every night.

Lano (05:52):
But they're shiny.

Mig (05:53):
Apparently the reflective tape or whatever In this dot or
something To the flies.

Rick (06:00):
It looks like it's Some kind of predator, so they stay
awake I, she gave me uh, theycome in a pack of four, and she
gave me, she ordered me, or shehad an extra pack and I put them
around the dog house in thekennel and they were still
around there and then, yeah, Iguess you're supposed to be able
to hang them upside down andthey don't work that good

(06:21):
because the reflectivenessdoesn't.
The sun doesn't hit thereflectiveness I don don't even
know why.

Mig (06:25):
Well, because she has them on the porch, because the dogs
like to hang around on the porch, yeah, and when I'm out there
with them, it's like there'shardly any flies.

Rick (06:32):
You know what, when I open the doors, I mean doors, the
windows, the big window, yeah,and I put them right there at
the window.
Nothing, they don't.

Lano (06:42):
Where should you get them?

Mig (06:43):
at Amazon.
I'm pretty sure on Amazon.

Rick (06:45):
Yeah, but it's good like, especially if you have like a
party.

Mig (06:49):
Yeah, like if you're going to put it around the food.

Rick (06:51):
Yeah, that's perfect, because that's actually what she
saw.
There you go, that's it, rightthere.

Mig (06:53):
Yeah, she saw that's what the purpose was, all these
little fans that were on thetable.
She was wondering what theywere and when she got closer she
asked one of the caterers orsomething.
They said it was to keep theflies away and she was like wow.

Rick (07:13):
And you know what.
They're not exactly like that,but it's the same idea.
Yeah, so the little propellersthat have the little reflective
on it.
They're like paper, so theyspin like a fan.
But like, say, you have itaround food and you're going to
reach for something, your handhits the blade but it's just

(07:35):
like over.
It does nothing, yeah, it juststops.

Mig (07:36):
It's like a ribbon or something, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's actually funny becausethe other day I was putting out
the trash, I was doing something, and I had the dogs out there.

Lano (07:44):
They're on the porch, so the dogs could Come into it, and
nothing happens.
Yeah, and Zoe.

Mig (07:49):
Actually got her nose Really close to the blade and
like it hit her and like shedidn't even Flinch or nothing.
She just like, kind of likeJust backed off.

Lano (07:55):
Yeah, those are really.

Mig (07:57):
Like it'll hit you.
They're not spinning so fastwhen it where it's going to hurt
.
So it'll hit you and it'll stop, and then it'll keep going
again.
They're pretty effective,though, man yeah check it out.

Lano (08:13):
This was on Amazon.
It's called the Fly Fan.

Rick (08:15):
That was just the top of the search.

Lano (08:17):

Well, we didn't even say.
We didn't even say yeah,because the last show we walked
out, miggy gave us the kits.

Lano (12:00):
Oh, right right.

Rick (12:01):
I've been mixing it with the one you got me and the
Viking one I got.
Oh, okay.

Lano (12:08):
I had it already.

Rick (12:10):
I really like the brushes man, the beard brushes.
That's what I like.

Mig (12:16):
No, but actually I like, I think out of everything I like
the balm, yeah, the balm.

Lano (12:22):
Tell me the routine.
Every morning you're doing thebum, or in the evening.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Well, when I mean, if you want to, the way I do.

Rick (12:29):
It is when you get out of the shower.
You do the oil, Use the oil.

Lano (12:35):
It's on the beard.

Rick (12:36):
Well, yeah, you got to comb, get it all, but then get
the oil.
We're talking about beard andBeard oil.

Lano (12:44):
Beard oil about beard and beard oil beard, yeah, um.

Rick (12:46):
So you get the oil and you put it all like on your skin
well, let's hold on, let's goall the way back.

Mig (12:54):
So the last show, after the last show, I my dumb ass, you
know forgot to bring it and Iwanted to introduce it to the
audience.
Another product review, sinceLano had already brought us some
stuff and gifted us some stuff,you know, to try out and review
the sore soap, yeah.
So I thought I figured this issomething that we've talked

(13:16):
about that we wanted to do andtry out.
So I took the initiative andsince it was right around Lano's
birthday, I figured I'll gethim a gift, you know, and we'll
all try it out together.
So I found these kits for thebeards, like grooming kits,
right.
So then I bought three kits,similar kits, and I gave one to

(13:40):
Rick, one to Lano and one formyself so we could all try them
out.
Now Lano again, I said I don'tknow why he wanted one, but he
wanted one, so I got him one.

Rick (13:50):
He's got a little bit on his chin, but you know what?
What I was thinking.

Mig (13:54):
Now back to the review.

Rick (13:55):
But it's good because look , three types.

Lano (14:00):
Lano's little bit of stubble.

Rick (14:02):
You got the goatee and then I got the long beard.
Different hair styles, so it'sdifferent.

Mig (14:08):
But I really do like the product though.
Yeah, I mean because that'swhat I would do in the shower,
you know, shampoo it in theconditioner, you know, because
it says for the shampoo you getlike a good lather going and you
leave it for five minutes andrinse it.
And then do the same thing withthe conditioner.
You know you put it in therefor five minutes and then rinse
it.
I do so, then I'd come out, youknow, come out the tangles, or,

(14:30):
yeah, come out the tangles, andit does a really nice job, at
least everything like reallyrelaxed now, now that you have
it, it's, it's it.

Rick (14:38):
You can manage it pretty good.
Yeah, where it's.
And then and then even becauseI've even, like when I got
swimming At Mark's house, like,once the beer dries it gets
pretty good, it's not all, yeah,crazy.
You know it doesn't go allcrazy.

Mig (14:53):
Cause you know I've been lazy the past couple days and I
could tell Because the hairs arelike Popping all over the place
, yeah.

Rick (15:00):
Oh, so like you don't get that when you use the product,
no, it all stays nice and inplace the beer pump you just put
it Like every so often.

Lano (15:08):
Alright.
So what's in the kit?
Cause I haven't opened it yetOkay.

Mig (15:11):
So you get Some little jars of oil, like with droplets
Droppers.
You get a little, can it lookslike a?

Rick (15:18):
Tobacco.

Mig (15:19):
Little tobacco can.
That's the balm that you canprobably carry with you
everywhere.
It comes with a brush and acomb and a little bag to carry
everything in, oh and theshampoo and the conditioner.

Rick (15:34):
You get the shampoo, the conditioner, then you get the
two bottles of oil, you get theone little can of the beard balm
.

Lano (15:42):
It's the same oil, just two bottles yeah.

Rick (15:45):
You get a wooden comb.
You get the brush, little canof the beard pump.
It's the same oil, just twobottles, yeah.
You get a wooden comb.
You get the brush for yourbeard to brush or the goatee.
Then you get a little pair ofscissors.
And then a really small comb, Ithink for your mustache or
something.
I forgot about the scissors.

Mig (16:03):
That's a good kit.

Lano (16:05):
It's a good little kit.
So you shower with the, withthe shampoo and the conditioner.

Rick (16:10):
You get out of the shower and you put the oil, I'll do, I
do shampoo, I do shampoo, andthen I do the beard and then I
let it sit and then I startwashing everything else, yeah,
and then once it's time I washthat, then I do the conditioner
and then, once it's time I washthat, then I do the conditioner
and then I finish washing andthen at the end I wash the

(16:30):
conditioner off and then whenyou dry, then you put the oil on
and comb it.
Yeah, yeah, just comb it outWith the wood comb, and then
yeah, and then what's the Bumpor styling.
Yeah.

Mig (16:45):
Like after.

Lano (16:46):
You know Like if you're not home.

Rick (16:47):
But it's also throughout.
And then what's the bump, or?

Mig (16:48):
styling.
Yeah, like after.

Rick (16:50):
You know, like if you're not home, but it's also
throughout.

Mig (16:51):
Yeah, later in the day when the oil kind of Uh-huh.

Rick (16:54):
It's just to kind of like rub it into your skin.

Mig (16:57):
Rub it into your skin.
And rub it out, because then itkind of helps prevent if it's
the dandruff, if you're splitends or whatever, yeah, Well,
for me it was dandruff, becausemy problem was dandruff, because
every time I would brush itbefore I would always have like
I wouldn't Like the dark coloredshirt.
I'd have all kinds of flakes,oh really.
Yeah.
And now that I started Usingthis stuff, it's like no more

(17:17):

Are you going to add?
Another 15 minutes to myroutine.
I got to wake up earlier, or no?
Yeah, I got to wake up earliertomorrow.

Yeah, when it gets like, likeif I'm sleeping, so you don't
want to Let it grow long.

Lano (18:11):
Well, I'll grow it long.
I'm just telling my reasonBecause sometimes, like I'll be
waking up.
And then it's all over theplace or when, the time when we
had to wear masks and stuff,like right now, like I wore a
mask, like to work on Mondaybecause I was sick while
recovering.
But when you wear the mask andstuff you know it gets all hot
and all that stuff.

Mig (18:27):
Not that it gets hot dude, but I really hated it during
those times because not havingthis care product stuff it would
go all over the place.

Lano (18:35):
man, yeah, it was crazy, yeah.

Mig (18:37):
And I just I hated that.
I would always just keep itreal short and I'd keep, and I
give it to a stubble the wholetime we had to Be wearing those
stupid masks.
So you cut it, yeah.

Rick (18:50):
Well, yeah, so so far, so good.
I'm liking the beard, yeah.

Lano (18:54):
The beard and you bought this.
You bought it on Amazon.

Rick (18:57):
Amazon yep Okay, I bought mine on Amazon too.
The first product I bought theViking yeah Brand, I think those
I was almost, I was almostgonna get bought the.

Mig (19:05):
Viking brand.
I was almost going to get thatbrand that Viking brand, but
this one that I got had, I guess, more reviews, more stars, so
that's the only reason why I gotit, but it was between those
two, I'll see.

Rick (19:17):
Right now it's majority of the Viking.
So then, once that finishes,then I'll see the difference
when I use yours, but I am usingthe shampoo and the conditioner
.

Lano (19:27):
I think Viking, like I have their like shaving kit,
like the badger brush and stuff.
Yeah, I think that's Viking.
I have, or I used to, with mysafety razors.

Rick (19:37):
This probably this dude doesn't use it, but you're the
work truck.
Does it have an ox?
No, a auxiliary?
No, oh, nothing.
Okay, all the work truck.
Um, does it have an oxauxiliary?
No, or nothing.
All right, so I I got a new Igot a new product that you
brought it right now.
I'm loving it.
Yeah, all right for for thepeople that don't have bluetooth
in their car and they use an oxcable because in my work van,

(20:02):
even in the, the car, the yeah,it has an aux input.
So then I bought an male-to-maleaux cable auxiliary I I and it
really it's.
It's annoying in the in the vanbecause you know aux cable.
I found this on amazon.
Let me show you this littlething, this little thing, this

(20:22):
little thing right here, oh it'sa Bluetooth transmitter.
Yeah, uh-huh, the Bluetoothtransmitter.
This thing works so damn good.

Lano (20:32):
So you're not dealing with the cable and everything.
No, you leave it in there allthe time you charge it, you
charge it and it lasts like 16hours.
It charges in that box orsomething it has the USB-C to
charge.
Oh, you want for your phone.

Rick (20:44):
So if you have the cigarette lighter and you have
it plugged in, it keeps itcharged, but you can also you
can disconnect it and it lastsfor like 16 hours or whatever
it's going to last, and you cancall.
You can hear the call on thespeakers and also talk through
this.

Mig (21:02):
Oh, that's what I was going to ask, yeah speakers and also
talk through this.

Rick (21:06):
Well, that's all I was gonna ask.
Yeah, that's cool.
Also the the, because the van,the van only has an auxiliary,
yeah, so when I put this out ofthe car speaker, so sometimes,
when I would be using the, thecable connected to my phone, I
would be able to talk, butsometimes it doesn't, because
the cable is already messed upand I and I was always careful
not to let it get kinked up but,it just started messing up.
The cable just started messingup and before I would able to be

(21:28):
talking to someone and hearthem through the speakers, and
now they can't hear me.
And then and then with thecable, now I was only able to
hear one side of the speaker,like the passenger side, and the
driver's side was nothing butthat's all right, it's not gonna
get pulled out, or yeah, itdoesn't.
But this thing right here forthe people that have auxiliary
input and they don't want to beusing the damn cable, this thing

(21:51):
is badass.
I also got this on Amazon.

Lano (21:53):
Well, I've seen that, but they use it for airplanes.
If you want to connect yourBluetooth headphones to the
airplane movies and stuff, youput it in the aux and then you
can connect it.

Rick (22:03):
But I didn't think about it for the car it comes with
With the cable, metal millauxiliary cable.

Lano (22:09):
Oh, so that's you want that separately?
Huh, no, no, this comes with it, oh okay.

Rick (22:13):
So you can use that or you can.
You can use that little cableor you use this.
So I like this Because I thinkit helps With the interference
difference.
Yeah, yeah, plug it in, that'sit no, that's a good tip, that's
good.

Lano (22:25):
Yeah, my work, my work truck.

Rick (22:26):
I think it's too old, too old it doesn't have a yeah, so
the people that have theauxiliary input put the tape in
there with the this thingauxiliary or something.
Yeah, I, I, I was, I was likeskeptical of buying it.
I was like man, it's probablygonna be like every other
transmitter.
That sucks, you know.
So then I saw some of thereviews and then they were just

(22:47):
the people that were did littlevideos on the review they just
show it.
Oh, like connected, but theywouldn't play.
You know the music.
So I tried.
I'm like all right, I'll orderit.

Lano (22:57):
Try it out, this thing so you have your, your phone just
connected to it.
You have two phones connectedto this too, and then, like, the
phone picks up your voice ifyou're talking like a phone,
call this.

Rick (23:08):
I think this has a speaker .
Oh.

Lano (23:12):
Or I don't know how it works, but you don't have like
headphones, I mean Before Iwould use headphones.

Rick (23:19):
Uh-huh, I would use headphones if the like when I
was using Manny's truck.
He doesn't have an aux input,so I would use the speakers.
That way I can.
Also, if I get a phone call, Ican talk to the earphones.
But this thing man.

Lano (23:35):
Yeah, because I've seen something like that, like for
the airplanes.

Rick (23:37):
Everybody uses Bluetooth headphones.
Then you get connected to theairplanes yeah.

Mig (23:43):
No, but that's a good idea.
That's funny, dude, because tothink about when we first go
back, and think to when youfirst started driving or when
you got your first car or thefirst thing you drove, and if
you couldn't afford a CD player,like a good CD deck, you

(24:06):
wouldn't get that, that um so bythe time I started driving,
what's everybody's first car?

Rick (24:10):
mine was a was a detachable face the beretta, I
think the beretta, but I thinkyou guys still had the pullouts
pullouts.

Mig (24:19):
He pulled out the whole stereo, the whole stereo and and
to me like like when, when thatcame out when people had that,
because Juan had that one, likeRalph's older brother.

Lano (24:28):
Like to me it didn't make any sense Because I was like
you're just making it easier forsomeone to pull it out in a
jacket.
But then I didn't realize youcarry it around with you, yeah.

Mig (24:38):
You don't leave it in the parking lot.
That's a thing, dude.
It's so crazy Because, yeah,you would go, you'll go to the
swap meet.
Back then, you know, go toSanta Fe Springs or whatever,
but back then it was just a swapmeet.
Yeah.
And you see so many foolsWalking around.
With their Carrying theirradios.
Oh yeah yeah.

(24:58):
And it was like, it was like Acompletely common thing.

Rick (25:01):
Yeah, like normal Nobody thought anything of it.
But then they started makinglike little bags for it too,
right yeah?

Mig (25:06):
You put them in like a shoulder bag, shoulder over bag,
and then so you startedcarrying it like that and then
eventually they went to thedetachable face to where all you
do is you keep the face Justkeep the face.

Lano (25:19):
Put it like in the little kind of like the case, like yeah
, yeah, yeah and they had goodones where, like, the face was
like it would come off and itwas like a computer plug right.
And then they had the cheapones where, like, the buttons
were still there, like oh yeah,like it was just like you know,
like the buttons were like, like, like a cheap, like a cheap you
had.

Rick (25:36):
You had that well when the detachable face, and then you
had your cd changer.
Yeah, they were just so, yousee it.

Mig (25:48):
The point I was trying to make is Like, after the whole CD
thing and everything, when MP3sstarted coming into play like,
not everybody had the ability toplay MP3s or the iPod or
whatever you had to play on thestereo.
So you would have to get likeif you still had a cassette deck

(26:14):
.
You know, you get that cassette.

Lano (26:16):
You stick it in there with the wire coming out, Like it
would connect to a CD player orsomething right.

Mig (26:23):
Or you would get the one where it tunes into an FM
station.

Lano (26:27):
Yeah.

Mig (26:29):
Man, we suffered through so much dude.

Lano (26:31):
Yeah, oh yeah, you would have to put it on some AM number
.
Yeah, remember, you would haveto tune it in.

Rick (26:37):
Vanessa's grandparents when they let us use the Tahoe
to go to Ensenada when we gotwith Mark and his wifey the
Tahoe to go to Ensenada.
Yeah, when we got with Mark,and his wifey.
They still have thattransmitter that you get to the
you get through the stations.
Yes, in that Tahoe.
Love it yeah, those damntransmitters Love it.

Mig (26:59):
They suck man.
How many of our listenersremember those?

Rick (27:00):
things Well, no, the cassette one had the cable, so
you just play it in there, so itwas pretty good.
Well, yeah, but that was prettygood sound.
Yeah, the connection was goodBecause it was direct.

Mig (27:09):
You connect that to the To the iPod or whatever.
Yeah, the actual transmitterthat sucked.
And for you youngins out therethat don't know what an iPod is,
that was actually A littlemusic device.
I think I still have my eyewhere you could store.

Rick (27:23):
It was an ipod, ipod ipod nano or touch nano yeah, what
was the other one.
How long was that run with theipods?
That was like five, ten yearsyeah I mean I never like.

Lano (27:42):
I had the little one I never like upgraded for, like
bigger storage or whatever.
The Shuffle, the one that waslike a little stick, like I had
like a screen, I think, oh,that's the Nano.

Rick (27:52):
Yeah, it was the Shuffle, the Nano and then the iPod.

Lano (27:56):
Yeah, I didn't have the original iPod, Just strictly
like.

Mig (28:00):
I Apple.
No my favorite type of musicstorage device the iPod.

Rick (28:08):
Yeah.

Mig (28:08):
Yeah.
Or any of those things thatheld the MP3s.
You know, because back then youknow you could.

Lano (28:16):
The best one.

Mig (28:17):
You would spend the weekend trying to load this thing up
with music.
You know it's like.
The best one was Playlist.

Rick (28:23):
Yeah, the best one was the iPod yeah.
Because you're like this you'regoing like.

Mig (28:29):
That was the only good.
Apple product Looking for asong Like.
I had a.

Rick (28:33):
Lyft, I would get a lot of the songs off of Napster.

Lano (28:37):
Well, that's what we're all into Napster?

Mig (28:38):
Yeah, we're all trying to find these sites where we could
download free.

Rick (28:44):
That was crazy.

Lano (28:45):
Free music.
Napster was a crazy time.
You're like pirates justdownloading music like that's
why.

Mig (28:49):
That's why I'm still like, I'm still stuck in that mindset
where, you know, like then thephones eventually were able to
hold all these songs andeverything, yeah, so then I
started downloading all theplaylists to my phone, you know,
and that's why I kind of wantto have it like that.
It's like I know you guys, guyssay, well, just go on Spotify,
create a playlist or whatever.
Nah, man, I just want it to beon my phone, because now you

(29:10):
don't store it in the cloud.
You have to have the internetconnection.
I want the phone to have themusic in there, so I don't got
to be connected to anyone oranywhere or nothing, and I can
just play it Wow.

Rick (29:21):
The way I started doing.
It is my playlist Spotify.
You name a playlist and you getyour songs Say rock, whatever.
You put your rock songs on andthen it's there.
If you're going to go for atrip, an airplane trip, go

(29:41):
camping, whatever, hit thedownload, it downloads all your
songs.
Now you can listen to it Alloffline If you have Like little
storage or room.

Mig (29:49):
Cause, then Cause then also but you most likely will,
because.
What I but also.

Rick (29:54):
And then once you come back, you just Undownload it.
You still have your playlistCause you're streaming Through
your, through your signal.
Yeah, but now You're listeningto a signal, but if you know
you're going to be somewherewhen you're not going to have a
signal, hit download.
It downloads your playlist,that way you can listen to it
offline.

Mig (30:10):
See, because another thing I liked also Is that you already
have your CD collection.
You have your whole collection,your whole catalog of music
right there that you want.
So you were able to Burn thatmusic Onto your computer, save
it on your computer and thenfrom there transfer it to your
device.
Yeah, and it's like it's notthat simple anymore.

(30:33):
So you can't do that anymore,or I don't know, can you?

Rick (30:37):
That's the CD?
No, because you just get thesong off of Spotify and then you
have to play this Well that'swhat I'm saying you know, I
don't know, it's not as easy asyou're saying now.
Like itunes is not even aroundnow, it's just like apple music.
Because why would you want togo through all that step when
you could just make a playlistright?

Lano (30:56):
there, that's, you're gonna.

Rick (30:57):
You're gonna, I mean, if you're gonna upload a cd to the
computer, then the computer to adamn um uh drive.
What is it?

Mig (31:07):
well, that's what I'm saying because that that's what
I was used to, so to me that'seasier you know, until you try
until you try with the spotifybut you gotta pay for it, right

Lano (31:17):
you get the free one, but I don't think you could download
with the free one.
Oh no, I don't know.
I don't.
I think that's one of thethings.

Rick (31:24):
Well, kick down with your damn Spotify.

Lano (31:27):
I don't have a Spotify account, oh no, I don't have a.
Spotify.

Rick (31:30):
Well, I'm on Mark's family plan.
He gave me a spot.

Lano (31:34):
See my wife's on my sister-in-law's family plan, but
she only gets like five users.

Rick (31:41):
So say, we chip in and we get a Spotify and you can have
like five family members on it.
They each create their list andthen you can see what their
lists are.
But I'm telling you it's easierthat way.
You just look for your albumand then put it on, because
you're going through so much.

Mig (32:02):
It's pretty crazy the way, the way the music's evolved, or
at least accessibility to music.

Rick (32:08):
It's crazy with all these beefs, like a lot of the stuff
that's going on with Kendrickand the Drake beef.

Lano (32:13):
All right, wait, wait.
Just to say I'm on the Spotifywebpage.
So premium, you get ad-freemusic Free, you don't.
Premium, you can download tolisten offline.
The free plan, you can't Play asong in any order.
High audio quality how much?

Rick (32:30):
is the plan.

Mig (32:33):
Well, there you go.
That's why I've alwaysstruggled, because I don't pay
for it.
That's why I can never downloadanything.
One person $11 a month.

Lano (32:41):
The family is $20 a month $19.99 a month for six premium
accounts.

Rick (32:47):
What's that one next to the student?

Lano (32:51):
Dual Two people, two accounts, 17?
$16.99, yeah, 17.

Rick (32:57):
So you might as well do the extra three bucks and get
the extra damn four people 15hours of listening in on your
books.
Look, six people split thatdamn 20 bucks.
They're cheap.

Lano (33:13):
Yeah, no that that is, they're cheap.
Whatever now before you gottabe hounding the thing before um
before spotify and stuff um, itwas like some you play music and
then like match your song.

Rick (33:28):
Well, it was the Amazon Prime.

Lano (33:30):
No, no, before all that stuff Planet or something,
something, something.

Rick (33:35):
Everybody used to listen to it Kind of like streaming.

Lano (33:37):
It's kind of like a radio station you pick a song and then
it played like similar songs,like it was really hot for a
while.
Oh.

Mig (33:43):
Pandora, pandora, that's what it was like it was really
hot for a while, oh pandora,pandora, that's what it was.
That was still a while, thatwas still out there isn't it?

Rick (33:49):
yeah, I use it.
It was a good, like three years.
Pandora's good, because andthen spotify does the same thing
, because you just go, you pickthe song then it says go to that
song radio and they don't playsimilar stuff because the one
that I feel that pandora has abetter mix of things, yeah.

Mig (34:05):
Pandora.
The one I haven't really triedis iHeartRadio.
Iheartradio is supposed to havethe same the similar features
as Pandora.

Rick (34:13):
I don't think I got hooked on iHeartRadio because I didn't
like the layout of it.
The layout, the layout.

Mig (34:20):
Or the way it was set up.
The only reason I use it is tolisten to the radio shows.

Rick (34:25):
Yeah, because, pandora, I feel like you get a good mix of
songs and songs from artiststhat you don't even know.
Like, oh man, you hear a songthat's pretty cool, and then you
see the artist.

Lano (34:39):
Like oh man, I like this stuff.
You see the artist.

Rick (34:40):
Yeah, you get a lot more of that on Pandora than you do
in Spotify.
You get more like artists outthere.
That's what I like aboutPandora.

Lano (34:49):
Now you're like a Spotify guy.

Rick (34:52):
Yeah, what got you?

Lano (34:53):
into Spotify.
Like what is it?
The Android connection I didn'tlike.

Rick (34:56):
Spotify for nothing when it first came out.
Where were you on, chris would?
Tell you Pandora, pandora,because at the end of Pandora
you could, I think, like a song,and then you could whatever
song you like, you know, likeshoot it in a playlist.

Mig (35:10):
It'll do like an algorithm or something.

Rick (35:14):
But, chris, when she first tried to like get me on Spotify
, she was explaining it to me.
Oh, I hated it man.
I remember that.

Lano (35:21):
I hated it.
I thought you guys would belike Amazon Music or Google
Music.

Rick (35:24):
I did Amazon Music.
I did Amazon Music.
I was on that for a long time.

Lano (35:28):
Just because you guys had that services or whatever.

Rick (35:30):
I would download it.
Yeah, I was on Amazon Music fora long time.
I preferred Amazon Music toSpotify, but then I started
using Spotify.
I don't know if the Spotifychanged the way the setup was,
but I just started getting thehang of it like, all right, I
like this, you know.

Mig (35:50):
So started making my playlist and yeah, it was good
see what I started doing was onmy phone, whatever came on the
phone, whatever music player wason the phone, and I would just
like start looking for songs andI would be able to download
songs onto that music player.
Yeah, you know, but as thephones, you know, you switch
phones and everything.

(36:11):
It wasn't able to transfereverything over into the new
phones to eventually to wherethis phone didn't even have the
same app anymore.
So everything that was on myold phones was kind of like
obsolete and it went intransferring to these phones and
to my new phone.
So I'm like man, it's like whydo they do that, dude?

(36:31):
Yeah, it's like why, why, whydoes he mess with you?
Like that?
It's like why, why can't theyjust let you keep all your shit
that you have from before andmove it onto your new phone?

Lano (36:41):
It should be like once you sign into the thing, everything
.

Mig (36:44):
Yeah.

Lano (36:44):
Like populate or whatever you don't yeah, they make this
world complicated.

Rick (36:50):
They do so.
You know it's a trip that thatvinyl I don't ever see.

Lano (36:55):
You know, they say that vinyl came back like you know,
like I don't ever think vinylgot like I got records in here,
uh, just because they're sayingthey're coming, coming back, and
I was like I'm gonna buy likemy favorite I don't feel that
vinyl ever left it did.
It's like a niche, but like I'mtrying to like even now, like
from people talk about, like Iwant to get it from way back in
the 70s.

Rick (37:15):
I have a turntable right, I just I just feel that people
have had listening to vinyls allthroughout.
Yeah and they keep sayingvinyl's coming back like, but
it's I mean they never stopselling, they, yeah, any album
today.
That's the one thing that hasnever, like, lost its, its, its
value or listening value,whatever it's cassettes.

(37:37):
No one really listens cassettescds no vinyl, maybe because it's
like the first thing andthey're pretty valuable.
But people like they'll getlike the what do they call it?
The second edition, thirdedition or whatever of an album
or the pressing, yeah.
And they'll buy that vinyl andthey'll listen to those vinyls.
I feel like vinyl's never goneout.

(37:59):
That's the one thing that'sbeen constant.
You have a turntable.
Yeah, I have three vinyls rightnow.
It that's been constant.

Lano (38:06):
You have a turntable?
Yeah, I have three vinyls rightnow.
It sounds better the quality.
It sounds like deeper orsomething.
I don't know what it is.
Even that crispiness, you heara little stuff.

Rick (38:14):
The player that I got the speaker.
I mean it's a little cheapylike old school.

Lano (38:18):
I have a turntable here that I just bought on Amazon.
I have some records right here.

Rick (38:22):
I probably have the I don't know, yours is a little
bit better.
But like I don't have my, shoesOn top of it, but I think I
think mine.
You can hook up speakers, soit'll probably sound Really good
.

Lano (38:32):
Well, I have some speakers that I connected here.

Rick (38:33):
That I put on, that I was gonna like Do you should like
have it set up so we can like?
Like our music room.
You play your intro and thenlike when we talk about
something, then you can play arecord.
Have it ready.

Lano (38:46):
But hey, imagine I made the intro On a vinyl and then
every, like every, I would playit.
And then you jump in and then,like, I take it off.
Can we make a vinyl?
I don't know, I don't know howyou make it, but Can people make
a vinyl?
I just need that one song, theintro, the outro.
And then you guys are talking,I start getting the outro ready
and then you put it on the deathrow label.
That'd be kind of cool.

(39:09):
But I see, like some djs onyoutube you know they're doing,
and then they got like brushes.
You know they brush the thealbum yeah like they clean it
before and then they put it onlike it seems like a cool hobby
you never um.

Rick (39:22):
You've never seen.
Seen Mayor Hawthorne's the Wineand Vinyl Wine and Vinyl Hour.
No.
Mayor Hawthorne.

Lano (39:31):
It's on YouTube.

Rick (39:32):
Yeah, on YouTube he's still doing it.
He started it in COVID becausewhen everything was locked down.
He started doing it everyThursday for an hour.
He called it the Wine and Vinyl.

They had a Zenyatta album.

Lano (42:16):
So this is it, oh.

Mig (42:18):
Who gave you that Good album?

Lano (42:20):
One of my dad's friends.
He was a record collector andthen he found out and then he
pulled it out of his collection,gave me oh, that's his personal
yeah, and you just have itright here like sir, like, um,
like a side job.

Lano (43:17):
Is that his first solo?
No, but this was.
Uh, I just bought this BecauseI saw him do an interview.
Uh, huh.
And there was something,something with the record when
you played it like like somelittle like patterns popped up

(43:37):
on the record like some angels,like 3D angels.

Rick (43:41):
Oh, as it spins yeah as it spins, oh crazy.

Lano (43:45):
And then like in here Well you got to set that up.

Rick (43:48):
You got to bring that record player down here.
We can put that on camera.

Lano (43:53):
So when you play it, kind of look it in the light.

Rick (44:00):
I can see the different colors of it.

Lano (44:01):
It reflects.
There's this one album.
I got to look it up, butthere's three Special things
about this album.
Like it had like Hiddenmessages and all kinds of stuff.
Oh, secrets and all kinds ofstuff.

Rick (44:14):
Dude, you can see it right there.

Lano (44:18):
Something.
What do you see?

Rick (44:19):
The angels right there, look at it.

Lano (44:21):
Yeah, like an angel, like it spins.
See it right there.
Or?

Rick (44:23):
something like that, Like the angel's spinning twirling in
a circle.
See it.

Lano (44:30):
Well, I can't see it on my angle, but maybe I can see it
Go like this man.

Rick (44:34):
Look at it right here, At the reflections that are right
here, Like the light when thelight shines on it.
And then just go like that.
You'll see the Go like this.
Don't grab it like that, dude.

Lano (44:44):
I don't know how you're supposed to grab one Put your
damn.

Rick (44:48):
So that album it had like three little you see, like the
little angels in there, they'rekind of like spinning, you don't
see them.

Lano (44:57):
It had like three little tricks on it, that's pretty cool
.
Like one is.
You get that.
There's like a little record inthe middle, a big record.
You flip it over, there'sanother song and then somehow
it's thick.
There's like another record onthe edge or something like that.
The edge had something,something.
The way the light shines on it,you see it or no?

Rick (45:16):
let me get these glasses there.
It's the shape of that angelright there.
Look the angels on the cover.
Oh yeah, this is it.
See the angels.
But they're really small insidethere and they're like it looks
like they're twirling, like ifthey were on a merry-go-round.
So I'm sure, if that record'sspinning, you could see it

(45:40):
better, like with the light.

Lano (45:41):
Yeah, yeah so I bought that one just because I saw it
and I'm like well, that's kindof cool.
It's like a trick album.
There's different secrets withit.
That's cool man.

Rick (45:56):
Mayor Hawthorne has, was it his first album.
You know how he started off,doing like old school Style
songs.
Well, he did a vinyl record Ofthat album, but he did it in a
heart shape.
I've seen those things Sellingon them At the eBay.

Mig (46:16):
Oh yeah, 500 bucks man.
A heart shape record.
How the hell does that work?

Rick (46:21):
I was like man and at the time,and at the time that he came out
Like breaker, I was like man.
And at the time and at the timethat he he came out like man, I
was like, oh, that's prettycool, I should have bought one
when it came out.
Yeah, because because when hisrecord first came out I I
listened to him a lot and then Isaw like, oh, man, that's a
cool record.
But I think at that time Ididn't have like a record player
, so like.

(46:41):
But then, like I look at now,you look on e eBay, now they're
like 500 bucks.
I was like damn, that's why yousaid so.

Lano (46:49):
I saw some record player, that you put the record like
this and it plays like on itsside, that people have Like on
their walls.
But then, when I read thereviews, they said that they
didn't like the quality wasn'tthat good.
Yeah, and then this is what'sgoing on.
That was good.
Marvin Gaye is, uh, what'sgoing on?
that was good marvin gaye andthen uh more than six bro this

(47:10):
is star wars but this is um kindof like the same thing.
The something um something doesthe trick record like the
millennium falcon or somethingis on here so these are just
like oh yeah, see this one, youcan kind of see it oh yeah, you
can see right there, that wasreal easy.

Rick (47:32):
Yeah, you see it oh, yeah, so when you spin it.

Lano (47:35):
Oh, that's crazy oh yeah, I see right there, really good I
don't think there's nothingthere, but so that's why this
one's a double disc that'spretty, that's crazy dude but

(47:56):
that was like I was gonna try toget into it.

Rick (47:58):
But then, like, like I just have them here, like I
don't have, like I only havethree, I got, I got an expanders
, I got, uh, janice joplin andan arctic monkeys.
Just three vinyls.

Lano (48:15):
I remember like growing up my dad, my dad had a nice like
record player and um they hadlike um bruce springsteen and
stuff sure we had.

Mig (48:23):
We had that big ass cabinet one.
Yeah, it was like one of thosemade out of wood.
Huge freaking cabinet.
One man I remember we had ourX-Fighter.
Where is it?
Oh yeah, that's cool.

Rick (48:40):
How much is that record worth?

Mig (48:43):
Remember we would put all of our.

Rick (48:47):
I would listen to CPE on that damn thing yeah, but also
we had those Disney books oh,yeah, like the fox and the hound
and all that.
I played the fox and the hound,yeah, all the time on that
thing, yeah, we would always beputting those on stories yeah it
was like you read the book.

Mig (49:04):
Yeah, you know, but the record player played along with
the book.

Rick (49:08):
Yeah so you're following with the book.
Yeah, man, I played the Fox andthe Hound all the time.

Mig (49:15):
It's like I don't know.
It's because we never were ableto see the movies of it or
anything.
Yeah, Well, at least not untillater, you know, when it started
coming out on VHS.
Yeah, but that was like ourmovies right there.
It's like we would put thatshit on dude and, just like Fox
and the Hound Lady and the Tramp, Sit there like going on with
the book Pinocchio.

Rick (49:34):
Yeah, that was cool man.
Yeah, Imagine if we still hadthis stuff.
I bet that's a character man,the read-along books man, all
man, the read-along books man,all the stuff that was, it would
do it would do either like abeep or a the chimes or whatever

(49:55):
, for you to turn the page.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember.
That's why the Fox and Hound ismy favorite, my favorite Disney
movie Story See man, you needto have so much damn stuff to
have a good childhood man.

Mig (50:05):
That's why the Fox and Hound is my favorite Disney
movie story.
See man, you don't need to haveso much damn stuff to have a
good childhood man.

Rick (50:11):
Simple.

Mig (50:12):
You don't need all these advanced electronics and keep
your mind stimulated and shitman, it's like we had a damn
good childhood, dude, With whatlittle that we had when we were
kids Shit.

Rick (50:28):
If I had kids I would have encyclopedias in my house.
Go write me a book report.
That was our early internetEncyclopedias.

Mig (50:43):
I almost picked up.
Write me a book report on theAlamo.
Yeah, that was always itEncyclopedias.
I almost picked up.
Remember the book report on theAlamo.

Rick (50:46):
Yeah, that was always there, I always, and I almost
picked up an encyclopedia setthat got left out on the curb.
Oh yeah, I wanted to take it sobad.
Yeah, it was one of these timesthat I went running over there
in Tustin I think, and it was,you know, nice houses up there,

(51:07):
yeah, yeah and they had lefttheir whole encyclopedia
collection outside.
This was about, maybe damn,where was it Like about?
And it wasn't too long ago,maybe about five, six years ago,
you know that's pretty crazythough dude Five, six years ago.

Mig (51:21):
Because my dad bought us that encyclopedia set, yeah, and
that saved us so many trips Tothe library, dude Having those
encyclopedias there, because noteverybody had them.
And it's like whenever weneeded something, just go
straight to the encyclopedia.
It's crazy that those books hadeverything in it Pretty much.

Rick (51:43):
You had any kind of question On history or whatever,
and it's in there.
That was crazy match, likeeverything a to z.
Yeah, you had any kind ofquestion on history or whatever
you go, and it's in there.
Yep, that's, that was crazy.
That was crazy that that wasour google.
Yeah, that's trippy man, yeahit's nuts man that's all you
needed to know, right there it'slike book report.

Mig (52:01):
Book report on washington, no problem yeah they Get my
encyclopedia and Read about them.
See how much I can BS aboutthis.

Lano (52:11):
We had Britannica right.
That was encyclopediaBritannica.

Mig (52:16):
It wasn't Britannica, it was a different one.
Britannica was one, I think wehad that set.

Lano (52:22):
It was like A through Z, it was one bookshelf and then,
like every year, it was justlike one, just one yearly
edition or something, I don'tknow what it was they would
change it.

Rick (52:35):
I mean, you think about it .
It's good because it forces thekid to open a damn book.

Mig (52:39):
Yeah.

Rick (52:41):
Instead of just like seeing some idiot on TikTok spew
lies.
Yep that.
And then what about Thomas?
Guys, man, oh yeah.

Lano (52:53):
I used to love looking at them, just looking at like the
pictures, like I started lookingfor, like the stadiums, the
drawings of the like thefootprints of the stadiums and
stuff, like the points ofinterest, like looking for all
that stuff in the Thomas guys.
And people didn't know how toread them, huh.

Rick (53:07):
That was, and think about it.
I started in Neptune in 2002.
That's 22 years ago, yeah 22years ago, when I entered in
Neptune, Dan told me like wewere going there.
He's like, like you need to getyourself An encyclopedia.
I mean not encyclopedia.

(53:27):
A.

Lano (53:28):
Thomas guide, you gotta buy your own.

Rick (53:30):
Make sure you have A Thomas guide in your book, that
way we know when to send you.
In your books you gotta knowhow to read.
Yeah, thomas guide.
And you think, like Damn, thatwas like 22 years ago.

Lano (53:39):
You go to the back, look up the street right and like the
number, and then like find thepage, and then I mean, I never
had it down packed.

Rick (53:46):
I was always lost in that damn thing.
Yeah, I was always off by them,like 30 pages.

Lano (53:53):
And you would think, like, like, let's say, you work for
Thomas guide.
Like, well, this, likeeverybody's always going to use
maps, like I'm set for life.
And then, like they'reabsolutely like, they're not
even like the number, even thenumber one.

Rick (54:05):
They didn't even go digital.

Lano (54:06):
It could have been Thomas Guide Maps instead of Google
Maps.
You know what I mean.
It could have been something,but they didn't stay with the
times.

Rick (54:11):
Yeah, they were stubborn in their ways.

Mig (54:14):
No, but then what about, even before we had them on our
phones?
Mapquest.

Lano (54:21):
Yeah, oh, you print out the directs, yeah.

Mig (54:24):
And you're reading as you're driving.

Lano (54:27):
MapQuest or Google Maps, like you.

Mig (54:28):
print them out you got all these pages of dab instructions
of how to go.
That's what got me so preparedin mapping out my drive before I
would go anywhere.
The MapQuest, yeah Well, no,just like mapping out Before I
would go anywhere.

Rick (54:45):
The map quest.

Mig (54:46):
Yeah, well, no, just like mapping out, like even now.
Before I put the GPS in yeah,like if I put in the GPS, I
wanna know what exit it's goingto be when I'm coming up.
I don't want to wait until thisthing tells me Use them out and
you look at the exit and allthat Yep.

Rick (55:02):
You look at the route.

Mig (55:03):
Or look at the text of it and see how far Do you guys ever
use the Tom Toms?
Tom, tom, I've heard it.
Oh, that was like a GPS device,right yeah.
I have Remember, remember.

Lano (55:21):
There was one summer, one season when we were doing that
scavenger hunt and winningstuff- I had won like Two Tom.
Toms Through that.

Rick (55:28):
Two or three.
It was one of the Two of theprizes, yeah, like.
I think I remember that.
Yeah, they don't have those, nomore.

Lano (55:35):
No, it was just like One year, like, I think, like we
were taking all the prizes, wewere going into like Places
where you shouldn't they don'thave those, no more.

Rick (55:40):
No, it was just like when you're like I think like we're
taking all the prizes.
Dude, we were going into likeplaces where you shouldn't
trespass that Japanese garden,that.

Lano (55:46):
I jumped the fence to go get the prize, like in Elysian
Park or something.
Yeah, dude, I don't rememberwhat it was called, it was
Scavenger.

Rick (55:59):
I mean it was Scavenger, but I don't even know like the
name name, the brand or whatever.

Lano (56:01):
He wanted to get.
No, what did you want to get?
It was something we werewinning, tom Toms.

Rick (56:04):
But there was something you wanted to win from Apple.
I think Was it an iPad.

Lano (56:08):
Or iPod or something, probably Probably an iPod Color
one or something Back then.

Rick (56:12):
Yeah, but yeah, he wanted to get that.
I'm telling you, we were alldriving all over the the city we
, we, we saw, we came up on thison this japanese garden area
that was locked up.
We're like, oh man, we're likewalking all the way around like
gps.
Yeah, it's like we gotta hopthe fence and it's right there
by the fountain.

Mig (56:32):
It was like the like not recently, but a while back, the
stupid pokemon thing somethingsimilar.

Lano (56:38):
Yeah, where were you going ?

Mig (56:39):
you try to find the Pokemon character.

Rick (56:41):
Whatever how it worked, like we would get clues or
something, what we look for yeah, they give you a clue, but the
clue you had to figure out, likewhat the location was.
It gives you a clue of thelocation.
You got to figure out thelocation and then drive there
and get it like for someone elseget, gets it.
And and yeah, we were rackingit up man like I was a bunch of

(57:01):
prizes yeah, that was.
That was pretty badass.
See all that man no, no whatyear was that?

Lano (57:09):
you think like after 2020, I mean after 20 2000, oh yeah,
like 2000.
I mean you said you're workingfor neptune 2002 around time
With the Tom Toms, or when.

Rick (57:19):
Yeah, I don't remember doing that.
When I was at Home Depot I wasalready at Neptune, so that was
probably early 2000s.
That had to have been early2000s.

Lano (57:34):
Well, we were off air for two weeks.
So today, me and Miggy werewaiting for you to come by.
And so today, me and Miggy werewaiting for you to come by and
I had this idea like what if?
Like well, you know, when yousay you're going to be late or
whatever, like me and Miggy didlike a quick, like 30-minute
show, oh yeah, just to likestore in the bank for like days.

(57:55):
We can't make it.
But we call it like I I meannow that I got records on my
mind we call it like the b sizeor something like that, oh yeah,
but it'll be like no, nofilming, just audio only,
because I mean the filming takesup time.
So, like, me and miggy werelike like, if you're saying
you'll be out, you're like 20minutes out or whatever you know
, that's like 40 minutes.
Like we'll do a quick 30 minute, like just one subject or one
story that, like me and miggywill talk about, and all audio

(58:18):
only you need and then you get

Rick (58:19):
here, and then we could do our filming because I want to
film when the three of us arehere.
You need to.
Um, I mean, let me add more toyour plate, but but get the
phone line down packed.
That way we call people.
I I mean even like that, likeif I'm on my way here, oh yeah,
we could call you.

Lano (58:36):
You can call me and I could be on the phone.
You could be coming in and walkin the studio, but you know
that that kind of I mean I gotmy my uh, my trusty little
bluetooth thing that I can talkto you guys with if I'm in my
work van you know that that is.

Mig (58:50):
One request I have heard is that we need to have more like
guests on, like more differentpeople.
You know, because I know youguys have felt it, because I
know I've felt it, some episodesthere, man, are pretty damn
stale.
It's boring.

Lano (59:07):
And our guests.
Those are our top members whenwe have guests on.

Mig (59:11):
that's when it's pretty good, Especially Vampiro.

Lano (59:18):
We've got to get Vampiro back On YouTube, especially he's
had a lot to.
I'm sure he has a lot to talkabout, you know, but Is he
working or what's he up to?

Rick (59:25):
He's on vacation right now .
He's out of school.
He's probably traveling the theworld right now.
Every summer vacation, thatdude always thinks Of somewhere
new.

Mig (59:35):
Yeah, living the life.

Lano (59:38):
Yeah, dude, he's just about guests, like I, like I
can't promise him, like, oh,we're recording at seven because
like our hours are likedifferent, but like we have a
guest, you guys know.

Mig (59:47):
But that's what I'm saying about the phone line you know,
because we can have him on thephone.
Oh true, yeah, you know.
And um, I mean, last weekend Iwas in Vegas.

Rick (01:00:00):
You wanna, you wanna have a.

Mig (01:00:01):
And uh.
I was out there with the Withsome OC friends and they
listened to the show and theywere Shout out OC.

Rick (01:00:12):
Yeah, they were, they were kinda.

Mig (01:00:14):
They were saying you know it's like.

Lano (01:00:15):
It's not as lively as yeah you guys need to have Like more
guests on, you know, and it'slike it's not as lively as yeah,
you guys need to have moreguests on, you know, and Because
I mean we're here like we got abunch of stories to tell, but
like we forget them.
And then when we bring a guest,like they remind us, like oh,
remember this, remember that,and then we find the old stuff
and Okay, but the next guest.

Rick (01:00:35):
We need to get Ralph in here, because there's a lot of
stuff going on.

Lano (01:00:44):

The performance mushrooms.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
Yeah, yeah, it makes it like coffee or yeah, the
creamer like a creamer.

Oh oh, I didn't get the cream.

Lano (01:01:24):

it the cream uh-huh, you have itat costco, I think, whichever

No, it's a creamer, isn't it?

Lano (01:01:32):
well um.
They have performance mushroomsin the.

Rick (01:01:34):
You can put it in your coffee or your tea.

Lano (01:01:37):
Right.

Rick (01:01:38):
I think you can put it anywhere.

Lano (01:01:39):
Yeah, you can put it anywhere.

Rick (01:01:42):
Kind of weird.
It neutralizes the coffee tastebut it gives you like a.

Lano (01:01:47):
Like a calmness.
No, it wakes me up like morefocused.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's placebo,but I felt different.

Mig (01:01:55):
Well, check this out.
It doesn't take you to thespirit world.

Rick (01:01:57):
So yesterday, according to Tuesday, yesterday was the
first time having.
Well, I tried it on Sunday andthen I had a full cup of my
gallon of coffee that I have inthe morning and I had it.

Lano (01:02:13):
Is that real?
You say gallon of coffee no 32ounce, Damn damn 32 ounce?

Rick (01:02:18):
It probably is, because then I get another coffee
Somewhere else, my intake isprobably like a gallon of coffee
.

Mig (01:02:26):
It's a quarter gallon.

Rick (01:02:28):
So I had it and then I got I was feeling like sick.
I was really bad at work.
Like about already by like 11o'clock the first day I was
feeling a little nause, likeabout already by like 11 o'clock
the first day yeah.
I was feeling a little nauseousand I had a mean headache,
started getting a pain up myneck and then I realized I
hadn't been taking my bloodpressure medicines in like

(01:02:50):
Probably like a week and a half.

Mig (01:02:53):
I ran out this past week too.
I felt the same way, so it wasyour medication.

Rick (01:02:57):
It was medication.
It was tough Because normally Icould get through the day, but
this one was getting me down,man, yeah, it was weighing me
down.

Mig (01:03:09):
You were able to go a whole week without it affecting you.
I go one day, dude, and itstarts really messing with me.

Rick (01:03:17):
I had Jack in the Box in the morning and it just went
whoa.
I kept putting pressure on myneck.
I was like, oh man, yeah.

Mig (01:03:25):

Oh yeah, I got to go, man Juanito El.

Mig (01:03:32):
Salvador, I keep telling you to go.

Rick (01:03:36):

It's not for a free one.

Mig (01:03:41):
It's just a discounted price.
Normally you go for an hour.
They're going to charge you $90or $80.
Probably $80.
$80.

Lano (01:03:57):
And with the membership card which I already paid, it'll
come out to like $60.
So like $1 a minute minute,which is cheaper.
Yeah, but were you?
But was that your story?
I thought you're gonna talkabout the mushrooms or the
creamer.
You've been liking it, or?

Rick (01:04:06):
you don't know.
Yeah, I like it because I'vebeen having it all week.

Lano (01:04:09):
I mean while we yeah, I ate today because I think they
sell it at costco like a bigthing.

Rick (01:04:15):
Yeah, she got me a little bag, so I could try it out first
.
But now I mean it's, it's, itkind of neutralizes the coffee
taste but, it's good, I mean, Ilike it.

Lano (01:04:25):
I'm sipping on it through the whole day because I've been
like I added and then when Ididn't have it, like like I'm
kind of like craving that flavoryeah, it's kind of good because
you're not adding sugar ornothing.

Rick (01:04:35):
If you add sugar, you just you know, and then like if I
use creamer, you know thesweetness you're getting sugar
there.
But at least this one's likekind of killing that whole like
craving for that sweetness, soit's pretty good.

Lano (01:04:52):
All right, so I'll work on Ralph Vampiro.
I would like to have Dolores.
I mean, I know people are tiredof us talking about Dolores,
but I would like to have Dolores.
I mean, I know people Are tiredof us Talking about Dolores,
but I would like to.

Mig (01:05:02):
Well, they shouldn't be, because we haven't Talked about
her In a long ass time.

Lano (01:05:04):
But I don't know you think maybe you could pull In Dolores
