From the raw thrills of "Mad Max" to today's CGI-laden spectacles, we don't hold back on our praise for practical stunts and our disappointment with over-the-top special effects.

On the top, there's an open one Summer break.
Did you guys you felt like itwas a good thing, the break?
Did you guys get some stuffdone?

Migg (02:21):
I did Not, really Not enough stuff to get done.
It was kind of weird at firstbecause record time would come
around and I'm kind of likegetting anxious throughout the
day, thinking I'm gonna have tohurry up and get off of work to
get over here, and I'm like man,I don't gotta rush like we do

(02:41):
shit yeah well, I was uh you gotstuff done.

Rick (02:46):
Just I made a little um.
I put the carpet in the studioyeah, you got.

Lano (02:50):
You got new cameras, upgraded the cameras.

Rick (02:52):
It's the same same cameras , just uh different lens filters
these look different shape,though, man it's the same.
And then, um well, I forgot toturn on her lights and stuff.
Don't cut yourself short, man.
And then I, you got mine brightright in my eyes.
We're talking about.
I got the, so this turntable.

Lano (03:12):
Yeah.

Rick (03:13):
This is the one from the Not Like Us video.

Lano (03:17):
Oh, are you serious?
Yeah, so I looked up to seewhat's on that one.
And then I set it up.
Can you get it on camera?
People got to see it.

Rick (03:25):
No, I can't get it on camera.
I mean, we got to do it.
You know what I like.
When we had Gian, you know wethought his camera went out, but
then it didn't, it stayed on.
It stayed on but I guess thescreen turned off to save
battery.
But then when you moved thecamera we had an angle with both
of you guys on and I like thatangle, like for for guests, like
if the more cameras, the morelike options I could switch

(03:47):
around oh, you get differentangles.
Yeah, so I might set up like aanother camera, like just
another camera, just likeshooting that or about one like
a pipe that catches all of usyeah, or a camera shooting the
screen, because sometimes weboth talk and I was able to
shoot both of them.
So I mean that was cool.

Lano (04:06):
Hey, I'm sure we watched A lot of movies.
Right Shows yes.

Migg (04:14):
I finished House of Dragons.

Rick (04:18):
Should we talk about disappointments?

Migg (04:20):
That was a big disappointment House of Dragons
right, okay, thank you, I toldVanessa, I got two years for
that bullshit, thank you, Forlike a whole season.
I told her that's how Game ofThrones is going to leave you,
dude.

Lano (04:34):
I told her two years for them to give her that, because
there was supposed to be thatbattle.
That's going to happen, yeah.
And all of a sudden they justdecided, okay, we'll just end it
here.
Yeah, at eight episodes I thinkthey have it recorded.
But they just said, no, we'lljust wait for that for season
three.

Rick (04:51):
But like the whole season was a filler.
Are you kidding me?
The whole season was a filler.

Lano (04:56):
Yeah, the whole season was just them at the damn table
talking.

Rick (04:58):
Talented.
I told you Damon likedisappeared, like I don't know
what he was.
I mean I know he was collectingthe army, but like I didn't get
his story, I mean he justdisappeared.
That's a thumbs down for me inthat season too, collecting I
guess recruiting armies and thenlike his story with the witch
or whatever.

Migg (05:16):
I'm glad you say that, dude, because I was coming in
thinking like, dude, I'm goingto rip this show apart, dude,
and Rick's going to get mad andhe's going to say how come I
felt that and this, that,whatever.

Lano (05:30):
We have a lot to get into with what we've seen.
We talked about the Mad Maxmovies, right?
Yeah, you guys saw them.

Rick (05:35):
I haven't seen the new one , but I saw it on HBO, oh, like.

Lano (05:37):
Furiosa and all that Furiosa have you seen that one?

Rick (05:39):
It's on HBO, have you?

Lano (05:40):
seen the one, the Mad Max, the one with Charlize Theron.

Migg (05:45):
Yeah, I saw that one.

Lano (05:46):
You Lano?
Yeah, I seen that one when itcame out.
Okay, you guys like that movie.

Rick (05:53):
Yeah, I saw it once you Lano.

Migg (05:54):
I mean, it's like a spectacle like a blockbuster.

Lano (05:55):
It wasn't anything memorable or Vanessa was getting
on me because I was like I wastired of the damn fast movements
and it was just like like onelong scene of them just on the
damn cars fighting All thiscrazy shit.

Migg (06:16):
It's this, this is the thing we grew up watching action
movies, when there were action.

Rick (06:24):
Yeah, not special effects when there were no special
effects.

Migg (06:27):
There were real stunts.
You know I was like I don'twant to sound like Tarantino
here or Robert Rodriguez orwhatever, but it was real stunts
, real people.

Lano (06:35):
Yeah, yeah.

Migg (06:36):
Real dumb people doing really dumb things, which made
it awesome.
Yeah, with the car wrecks andeverything.
And that's what made Mad max sogood.
That's what made the roadwarrior so good.
You know, that's what made somany of those early movies so
good.
It's like, to this day, themovie bullet.
They consider that to be thebest car scene chase ever

(06:58):
recorded right?

Rick (06:59):
yeah, and I don't even think I've seen the movie.
I just seen that scene.

Migg (07:01):
Yeah, it's like a 12 minute scene where he's driving
through San Francisco.
Yeah, yeah, you know.
So, seeing all this stuff now,dude, it's like I'm over CGI.
It's like they CGI just becausethey have it and they can, you
know, just exaggerate with itand everything.

(07:21):
It's like earlier I'm at homeand I'm watching Independence
Day, you know, and they show,it's like just to show how crude
the filming was back then.
In special effects, it's likeyou can see so clearly how a
fake screen was used whenthey're looking at the ships,

(07:44):
you know, when they're lookingat the ships, when they're all
coming down and everythingbecause it just looks like you
know you can see the actors andyou can tell there was like a
green screen there like showingall the other stuff, because the
outlining and everything islike so obvious.
You know, it's just so badlydone.

Lano (08:03):
I gotta see that again and now, because when we watch it
at the times you're like, yeah,it doesn't really like Well,
because the thing is, it's notnoticeable.

Migg (08:10):
Because our TVs and our screens and everything weren't
as high def as they are now,yeah, so now you can really see
it.

Lano (08:14):
So now you can really see all that stuff, you know.

Migg (08:26):
So the thing is you're watching something that's like
made today, that's like nothingbut done on the computer.
Yeah, all that stuff isseamless and everything, and
it's just because to the point.

Rick (08:30):
It's like come on man, it's like it's like it's just.

Migg (08:32):
It's too much for the sake of throwing everything you have
at it it's like oh you know,it's like I got this effect
right here.
Let me throw that in there.
Well it's like oh this onewon't really, you know, make
much of a difference, but let methrow that in there.
It's like, oh, this one won'treally make much of a difference
, but let me throw that in theretoo.

Lano (08:45):
The effects were, I agree with you, but with this movie,
Mad Max.
And how old is this movie?
We're reviewing it right now.
It feels like a new movie, the.

Migg (08:56):
Theron one was how long ago was that?
Maybe at least five years old,damn.

Lano (09:01):
So well, I watched it, but it speaks on movies right now
too, because they're getting toocrazy with all this damn um
with the special effects andprobably not with now, ai you
know, and the thing that that'swhat they're counting on is
nothing but the special effectsso 2015 it's like there's.

Rick (09:19):
There's no plot line that's nine years in.

Migg (09:21):
There's no there's no plot line, that's nine years in,
there's no pitch.

Rick (09:25):
Nine years, we're 2024?
Fudge 2015.
Yeah, Damn I was late to theparty.
I mean, and you saw that, justto figure out the Wow, to see
the, you saw the new one.
Well, yeah, I saw the new oneyeah, Fury Road.

Migg (09:43):
That was 15?
.

Rick (09:43):
Yeah, 2015.

Migg (09:45):
Oh wow, I remember.
I saw it in the theater.

Rick (09:46):
It was supposed to be like this, imax or something.

Lano (09:50):
Well, okay, well, besides the special effects, the movie
itself, it's just one long sceneof them in the desert,
constantly fighting, like youknow, on the cars and what are
they fighting over?
I Constantly fighting, like youknow, on the cars, and what are
they fighting over?
I don't even know.
Was it water?
The water, yeah.
Like they're trying to getthese stupid broads to this damn

(10:13):
green place, oh yeah.

Rick (10:15):
So the boss had like versions right.
They want to leave.

Lano (10:18):
The storyline is pissing me off, because then these want
to leave and then these broadsare like typical, I don't want
to leave.
And then these broads are liketypical, I don't want to leave
them behind.
They're dragging, you know,they're just dragging them
behind.
And then these broads are likeone of them wants to go back,
and then, like, once they getthrough that sandstorm, they're

(10:38):
still through the sandstorm,they're going at it.
And then they get to the spaceand they like, oh well, let's,
you know, the green place, thegreen land is gone, so let's go
back now.
Let's go back.
And then now another long sceneof them, you know, fighting
back and forth, back and forth,and it's like dude, like that's
just the whole, that's the wholemovie.
It's like them just on thatrace, fighting each other on the

(11:02):
road.
And then the guy is fixing theengine.
It has two engines.

Rick (11:08):
He fixed the engine in the middle of the battle.
It's like I know it's supposedto be so, tom Hardy, that's
supposed to be the Mel.

Lano (11:18):
Gibson character, yeah, and I got tired of the way they
filmed it too.

Migg (11:22):
No, not so much the Mel Gibson character.
Already that Fury Road, that'slike a different.

Rick (11:28):
Like a different city.
It's a different storyline.
Because right here it says thatit's set in the world Max
Rogatansky and it says Maxportrayed by Mel Gibson and Tom
Hardy.

Migg (11:40):
Oh, maybe I don't know.
But I had thought that he waslike some kid.

Rick (11:45):
Like in the original ones there was some little kid that
they malnourished and rescued.

Lano (11:48):
He was a kid that got ran over Something like that.
He probably survived.

Migg (11:54):
Well, I had seen something that he was the kid.
What would have made more senseis that that little chaka kid
with the metal boomerang theyshould show him as an adult,
that would be the storyline tofollow.
If they wanted to still followthe Mad Max and develop a story
around him that I would want tosee.

Lano (12:14):
I didn't like that long scene.

Migg (12:18):
Because he's supposed to be narrating Road Warrior.
The guy that's the narrator inthat movie is supposed to be
that little chaka kid.
The guy that's the narrator inthat movie is supposed to be
that little chaka kid becausehe's the one that grows up to be
the leader of their tribe.

Rick (12:30):
Yeah, something like that, I thought.

Migg (12:32):
Oh, okay, so it would make more sense than him.

Lano (12:36):
Furiosa's Furiosa yeah.

Rick (12:39):
But she's the younger version of the Fragosa.

Lano (12:44):
Because there's actual storyline in it.

Rick (12:48):
So is this considered a reboot, not like a continuation?

Lano (12:53):
I guess Mad Max it was get these broads to safety.
So the Fury Road is the one youwere ripping apart.

Migg (13:00):
Huh, the Fury Road is the one you were ripping apart.

Lano (13:03):
Yeah, the Fury Road.
Yeah, yeah, that one.
Oh okay, yeah, the one you'reripping apart, the theory road.
Yeah, yeah, that one.
Oh okay, yeah, the one you saw,oh I haven't seen all that did
you say?
I don't even remember none ofthat because it's so, like you
know, such a forgettable moviewell, nine years ago, yeah, yeah
, I told, I told vanessa I wouldnot watch this movie again and
it's like the biggest thing thatthey made about that stupid
movie was the guy with theguitar that shoots flames or
whatever.

Migg (13:24):
Right, yeah, that's supposed to be the biggest thing
in that movie I saw that movieand then I told myself.

Rick (13:32):
I saw it in the theaters, I thought imax or something like
that, and then I probably, Ithink I'm not gonna watch this
again, way better oh okay, youdid see Furiosa.
Yep, I saw that one I'm goingto probably watch it then on HBO
.

Lano (13:47):
I told Vanessa now this has story to it.
It's not just one damn longscene through the whole movie,
you get the start of it, thenthe long damn car scene maybe a
little bit of 10 minutes of herfinding out that the Greenland
is gone and then the rest of themovie is just them fighting
back, like that's all it is.

(14:07):
It's like I mean, that's what'sgetting on me.
Like what kind of dude are youthat you're saying?
That has too much action.

Rick (14:17):
Well, does she like it?

Lano (14:19):
She loves it.
Yeah, she likes it Really.
And I told her it's just stupid, it's over the top, it's like
I'm over it, it's like I don'tneed a whole damn long scene of
all this over the top crap.
You know it's just I don't know.
It just kind of was chapping myass.
That's funny.

Migg (14:40):
Here.
I thought you were talkingabout the new one, furiosa.

Lano (14:44):
You should watch it.
Okay, I like that one waybetter.

Migg (14:47):
Ah Okay.

Rick (14:48):
There's action, but it's not over.

Lano (14:49):
It's not, it's crazy stuff .
That happens too, but there'sactually story to it and it's
better, way better.

Rick (14:58):
Wasn't the original Mad Max?
Like they're fighting over likegasoline, no, no.

Migg (15:03):
Original Mad Max Is where he they're fighting over like
gasoline.
No, original Mad Max is wherehe's a cop.
You know he's on patrol andthere's a biker gang that's out
there.
You know well, there's a gangthat's out there on motorcycles
like they kind of terrorize, andone of the leader or the friend

(15:30):
of the leader got killed whenhe was being chased by.
Was it Max or one of the policewas chasing him and he got
killed.
Because they call that dude theKnight Rider.

Rick (15:45):
Right.

Migg (15:46):
The one that got killed.

Rick (15:48):
And it wasn't like desert dystopian right.
No, no, no, no, Not yet.

Migg (15:54):
And the biker gang was going to pick up the body or the
remains of what?
was left over of that dude, theKnight Rider, to like transport
him, I guess, to the otherservice or whatever.
Yeah, to like transport them, Iguess, to the other service or
whatever, yeah, and in thatwhole time they just end up like
crossing paths with Max and hispartner that rides the
motorcycle they call him Goose,you know and then they wind up

(16:17):
making Goose crash in a reallylike ugly crash and he gets
burned up and everything, yeah,and that pisses off Max, you
know.
So he tries to go on a rampage,but then, uh, his chief sends
him on vacation, so he picks upthe, he gets the wife and the
kid and they go to, like, uh,aunt's house, like yeah you know

(16:37):
, kind of on the boondocks, yeahand they follow him there, and
then that's and they end up.
Yeah, they end up killing theaunt the wife the son, and then
that's when he really just losesit and yeah gets everybody, and
then road warrior, which is thesecond part, which is actually

(16:57):
mad max 2, but it's called roadwarrior.
That's the set in theapocalyptic, yeah was there
three or three or two?

Rick (17:04):
What's Thunderdome?
Thunderdome's the third one.
Third one, that's the one withTina Turner right, yeah, no,
those are storylines.

Lano (17:12):
Yeah, that's storytelling, right there.

Migg (17:13):
Yeah, and then Road Warrior.
You know you're fighting overthe fuel.

Lano (17:17):
Yeah.

Migg (17:18):
You know, it's like these people can't live in peace
because they got this gang thatwants to take over the refinery
and everything and they'reprotecting the refinery.
And you know, mad Max, or Max,he's this lone warrior out there
has this police interceptor,badass car man, it looks like

(17:40):
Australia's version of Mustangwith like a supercharger on it
and everything.
So, that thing's pretty badass,dude.
I love that car dude Seeingthose movies as kids.
Man Seeing that Mustang Havingthat switch that just turned on
the supercharger.

Lano (17:56):
Yeah, hell, yeah.
Yeah, I think it was badass.

Rick (17:59):
Oh, it was.
They call it Pursuit Special.

Migg (18:02):
Yeah.

Rick (18:03):
Is that?
Is that the car name, or isthat the movie name?

Migg (18:08):
No, the movie they call it , I think, is Interceptor.

Rick (18:12):
Which is like a cop car, no.

Migg (18:14):
Yeah.

Rick (18:15):
Replica.
Yeah, that was pretty cool.

Migg (18:22):
Yeah, but I thought even that one, you know, that was
like a revenge movie, mm-hmm,you know.

Rick (18:26):
And then Thunderdome is just which I don't remember at
all.
I mean, I remember it, but Idon't know the story.

Migg (18:34):
I watched it not too long ago to try to like refresh my
memory on it and that one, Ithink again, he's just he's
traveling and they try to takewhat's his and they capture him
and he fights his way out of thedome and he finds his way to
like this little like kind oflike these kids rescue him that

(18:58):
are part of like a paradise andthey say that he's like part of
this prophecy that's gonna savethem and I don't know what you
know and and they actually takethem, the kids take them to
where they're living and it'sactually kind of like an oasis.

Rick (19:13):
So there's like waterfalls and greenery but one of those
kids I thought juggle setting inthe new movie, but it's not.

Lano (19:19):
Yeah one of those kids.

Rick (19:22):
I had saw something that was a kid.

Migg (19:27):
So but I mean, a little story goes a long way, dude.
Yeah, a little writing, youknow I needed a little story and
damn.
Story wrote and I didn't get it.
Yeah, I'm telling you which isprobably why I don't remember it
Because A little bit yeah.

Or we would, he would as a really into comic books,

Or we would, he would as areally into comic books, because
yeah.

Migg (20:24):
And if you were into the comics and you saw a lot of the
different movies that were outthere, especially the X-Men,
which Fox really screwed up, Foxand Sony you know, with the
timelines and storyconsistencies and everything.
They just really screwed it upreally bad.

(20:44):
You know, it's like a lot ofthat is brought into this movie.
So you see, like a lot of thecharacters that you really
wanted to see badly likedeveloped in those.
You see them here oh that'scool.

Rick (21:00):
Did you watch that Loki show?
That's a Disney plus.
Yeah, I tried it.
I couldn't get into it Becausethat's the.
I mean those officers.

universes and everything like,oh, okay, jumping and skipping
around because I'm telling youthey, they reference all kinds
of different more like x-men'sand characters from different

Different comics Easter eggsyeah.

That's what I'm talking about.

Migg (22:19):
That's what I'm talking about.
You would have enjoyed it waymore.
Yeah, you know it's like as itis, you liked it, but it would
have been much more enjoyable if, like, you watched as much of
the other stuff as I did.

Rick (22:31):
But you're talking about comics, not all the movies.
No, no, no Movies and comics.

Migg (22:36):
You know, just knowing like a lot more.
That's why I'm saying thisDeadpool movie was really like a
treat, For I don't want to sayLike the comic book nerds or
whatever, but like for the comicbook people and the people that
watched All the other Marvel.

Rick (22:55):
Well, not even.

Migg (22:56):
Marvel but all the other Universal yeah.

Lano (22:58):
Or that have been following All the movies, people
that have been following thewhole storylines.

Rick (23:04):
You saw it on the big screen or on Fire Stick.
No, I watched it on Fire Stickfrom home.
It was good.
I mean the Fire.
Stick is good quality stuff.
Yeah, I found a good copy.

Lano (23:14):
Illegal cable.

Migg (23:17):
Just there was only one time when people's heads got in
front Remember remember this,remember, remember this.

Lano (23:26):
We Remember we used to mess With those stupid filters,
put it in the back andsupposedly I was supposed to get
the All the channels right,yeah.

Rick (23:33):
And then it was like, did that?

Lano (23:34):
work.
We had to put it like Some ofthem did.
We had to put it up At theTelephone pole.

Rick (23:40):
Something like that.

Lano (23:41):
Like there was one that you had to put At the telephone
pole and ours was like right,there, right where it's easy to
get to because of the roof.
The legal roof that attaches tothe buildings.

Rick (23:50):
Oh, uh-huh.

Migg (23:50):
We were able to get up there and just splice it in
Because there was like a box orsomething up there.
No, and then like after theyput a lock on it or they had a
box.

Rick (23:59):
yeah, Because people at that time people would just come
knock on your door Like youwant cable?
Yeah.
And then they'd just like comeback from the backyard and you
had all the channels, orsomething like that.

Migg (24:07):
Well, that's because that's how it was.
There was filters, yeah.

Lano (24:11):
There was just little Adelphia.
What was the first one,adelphia?
Was it Adelphia, adelphia?

Rick (24:21):
cable Adelphia was like the big one.

Lano (24:23):
Adelphia.
Sounds about right.

Rick (24:26):
Remember how, before Spectrum, we already talked
about it, but how?

Lano (24:29):
play stuff would be when the damn things wouldn't come
through.

Migg (24:32):
No, that's when they changed the spectrum.

Lano (24:35):
No.

Migg (24:36):
No, sometimes with.

Rick (24:36):
Adelphia too no it's when they changed, like pay-per-views
or what are you talking about.

Lano (24:41):
You couldn't even call them because the phone lines
were long, like be busy, likepeople would be calling like a
bunch of people because no onewas getting their damn people
views.

Migg (24:52):
I think with Adelphia it was okay.
It's when they got bought out,I think by Spectrum.

Lano (24:57):
That switch?
Huh, yeah, yeah, that thing waswhack man, that's when it got
shitty.

Rick (25:05):
Yeah, look at Adelphia Communications.
What was before?

Lano (25:07):
Yeah, look, that was it, Adelphia.

Rick (25:10):
That was the best man we were excited Successor with.

Lano (25:14):
Spectrum Some of the WrestleManias.

Rick (25:16):
Infinity Comcast no.

Migg (25:21):
No.

Rick (25:24):
Charter and then Spectrum.
2009 was acquired by Charterand then on Spectrum.

Lano (25:32):
Spectrum got everything, huh.

Rick (25:34):
Time Warner Comcast Pioneer.

Lano (25:39):
I remember man always being excited because whenever
we could get the resting.

Migg (25:43):
Dude, the worst was having the house packed.
Dude, everybody there.
And then nothing but snow dude,yeah.
Some of the boxing events, someof the big boxing yeah with
Chavez, with Chavez, yeah, andthen nothing, dude.

Rick (25:58):
And this was legit.
You bought it right.

Migg (26:00):
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.

Rick (26:03):
I ordered the shit, yeah, and that was like what, 50 bucks
, 20 bucks, $20?
Pretty much, now everything'slike $100, huh, like how much is
a pay-per-view now?
Like a UFC fight.

Migg (26:17):
I can't even tell you, dude, because I don't bother.
And if there is something, justwatch on the fire stick.

Rick (26:23):
Yeah, the fuck yeah.

Migg (26:25):
Screw them.

Rick (26:26):
But is anything worth buying, like ordering Nah UFCs,
because I feel like it's kind ofsaturated.

Migg (26:36):
There's a UFC, if I know, if I know UFC you know why?

Lano (26:40):
Because you get them, the early fights, then you get the
prelims and then you get themain card.
You get a bunch of fights.

Migg (26:47):
That's true All day.

Lano (26:49):
You can start your thing right at like 2 o'clock.
That's true, like it's a wholeday event.
And what's cool is that thatmain card it starts so late Like
they don't start at what, is it7.38?
Yeah, no, you get money's worthwith that, you right, you right

Let me tell you man Shayna and Shelby told us about this
show Me and Vanessa we startedwatching this.
I'm so annoyed with this show.

Rick (30:58):
You have to keep watching it though, but I got to keep

It's like gory gruesome yeah.

Lano (31:02):
Yeah, it's like the scenes when people die, it's crazy.

Rick (31:10):
Even the first shocker like the girlfriend, she passes
away right.
It's crazy, even the firstshocker like the girlfriend she
passes away.

Lano (31:13):
right, it's superheroes, but superheroes that just do it
the wrong.
They're just pieces of shit.

Rick (31:22):
Yeah, they're not good people or they don't know how to
control their powers.

Lano (31:25):
It's all propaganda, not propaganda, but it's all show.
They do these narratives wherethey're these superheroes.
They do it for the people, butthey're really.
It's all show Like they dothese narratives where they're
these like superheroes.
They do it for the people, butthey're really like scumbags,
like everybody, like they havetheir own, like selfish ways.

Rick (31:41):
And it's like like the superheroes like work for like a
corporation kind of.
Yeah, so they recruit people,like they promote people and
like demote people.

Lano (31:48):
Let me tell you, I man they got some characters in here
that annoy that that justpissed me off.
Man, like this guy, the mainguy, homelander yeah, he already
like kind of like rubbed me thewrong way because he's like
he's supposed to be like thesuperman, kind of yeah, he's
like superman, captain, hero, um, cyclops, all like in one, you

(32:12):
know, like him.
Like he's a real douchebag.

Rick (32:17):
Well then you got this Aqua guy.

Lano (32:19):
And then the one guy that I like, black Noir.
He doesn't do anything.
I don't know if he does in theother seasons, but first season
he hasn't done anything, likehe's just real quick, like Black
Noir doesn't really do.
I don't even know what hispowers are.

Rick (32:35):
Is that this guy?
Yeah, oh well, yeah you'll seeBecause he looks.

Lano (32:40):
I like him because he looks like Snake Eyes.

Rick (32:43):
Yeah, you'll see in season three Like they tell his
backstory.

Migg (32:46):
Wait until season three.

Rick (32:48):
They tell his backstory.

Lano (32:49):
That's how you do these shows.
There's no shortcuts of himLike in the first season.

Migg (32:53):
It's like Dude really, these freaking shows, man, but
that would make it.

Rick (33:00):
Like you don't know what gory he is Until you watch this
one.
Watch that.

Lano (33:04):
It's.

Migg (33:04):
I don't know, man, after watching all those seasons Of
Walking Dead, those damn thingsare pretty gory.

Lano (33:10):
Watch this.

Rick (33:12):
Mine, the way they kill, the way they kill.

Lano (33:13):
The way they kill people In this fucking show Is fucking
nuts.

Rick (33:19):
It's Just the way, like the first episode Starts out
like that guy's girlfriend,right, yeah, it's just like what
the yeah.
You have to keep watching it.

Lano (33:29):
Yeah, I mean Watch.
Watch that first episode.
I have to like Psych myself up.

Rick (33:32):
Yeah, I mean watch that first episode, I have to like
psych myself up to it, get inthe mood to watch it.

Lano (33:36):
There's characters that not really annoy me.
I just hate them Like.
I hate the character.
So it's not like somethingthey're doing, it's just like
you're such a scumbag dude, youknow.
So one of my favorite shows was.
And I'm so annoyed and I justdon't want to watch it.

(33:58):
But I got to keep watching it.

Rick (34:00):
One of my favorite shows was Supernatural.

Lano (34:03):
Yeah.

Rick (34:05):
These guys wrote, the guys who did Supernatural did the
boys.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right,the guy Eric Kripke, so he, so
he does the the boy, but um.
So you see some of the samecharacters like this guy's in it
.

Lano (34:20):
Jeffrey deed is in it.

Rick (34:21):
Yeah, this guy's in it, so um, you'll start supernatural
you'll start seeing it.
Supernatural is about like umangels and demons and stuff.
It starts off like bedtimestories, like the boogeyman and
what people dream about.

Lano (34:36):
But then it gets into angels and demons, which gets
good.

Rick (34:42):
I know, miggy, you finished the Bear.
Yeah, did you watch it?

Lano (34:47):
Oh, I've only watched a couple episodes.
It's two seasons right now.

Migg (34:51):
Three.

Lano (34:51):
Three.

Migg (34:54):
Third season's really different, though.
Yeah, yeah, it's different Fromwhat the first two seasons were
.
Third season they reallyconcentrated on in-depth
character development, right, sothey really took each of the
main characters and really doveinto their background and how
they got to where they are.

Lano (35:15):
Bear was getting me because I was in a couple
episodes Exciting.
Yeah, the way he is, it's likedude fucking chill man.

Rick (35:23):
But I mean it's too much like.
It is, but there's a reward.

Migg (35:27):
He reminds me of Manny, but doesn't it give you that
anxious feeling like dude?
Are you going to get this shitdone?
You know, are you going to fail?
Are you going to do it?

Lano (35:36):
You know it's like dude, what's going to happen?
It's more like dude, like chillman relax.
Yeah, you get that vibe too,but it's just like I don't know
man, it's just like when they'rehe's trying to get that meat
and he's like selling stuff andlike doing all this, like hurry

(35:58):
up stuff, like it's like I don'tknow.

Rick (36:03):
It gets me anxious, finish it.
You have to just finish it.
Irritating.

Migg (36:06):
Yeah, because actually season three goes a lot into his
character development and howhe got to where he was at Like
that one chef, that Joel McHale,Joel McHale, whatever his
character.

Lano (36:24):
Yeah, man, let me tell you , you know, like reactions, like
a show, a show is good.
It brings something out of you,some kind of feeling or
something right?

Rick (36:36):
Yeah.

Lano (36:36):
Like emotion so the show's doing this job.
Like I watch these reactionchannels and one thing that
really like annoys the hell outof me, it pisses me off.
Like I watch a lot of likecrime stories or like they talk
about a murder or whatever.
Right, Right.
I watch a lot of crime storiesor they talk about a murder or
whatever, right, right.

(36:56):
So when it starts off a lot ofthese, they start off with the
cop, the dispatcher, likesomething happened, the person's
trying to call 911, and thedispatcher's trying to get info
right.
But just some of these broads,some of the dispatchers just
pissed the hell out of me, dude.
It's like the people arecalling and they're saying like

(37:23):
the mom's dead or whatever, andthey're just like oh like, where
is she?
Like in the kitchen, like yousend someone?
Like quick, quick.
Like, oh well, where were you?
Like.
And they're just like quick,quick.
Like oh well, where were you?
And they're just like stupidquestions.
It's like, dude, like, insteadof saying like, yeah, we're
sending, like the cops arealready on their way, but I need
to keep talking to you,whatever, whatever, they just
keep asking stupid questions andthe tone of their voice it like

(37:45):
really irritates me.

Migg (37:47):
Does it?

Rick (37:47):
always sound like the same person.
Huh.

Lano (37:52):
The tone of the voice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But these dispatchers justpissed the hell out of me
Because the stupid questioningand the people are hysterical.
They're seeing somethingtraumatic and they're just
talking like normal, like who'sdead or who, how you know who
killed them.
It's like if they know whokilled them, yeah.
And they're just trying to getthe cops over there or an

(38:16):
ambulance and just to calm themdown, like they should tell them
like hey, there's someone onthe way already, we have someone
going already.
But they're still like, ma'am,I need you to calm down, I need
you to answer my question andlike those dispatchers just
pissed the fuck out of me.

Rick (38:35):
I think they're trying to like filter out like I don't
know but the emergency, becausethey can't just send a cop out
those damn calls like and that'show the damn the video starts.

Lano (38:44):
So I'm already like, already like.

Migg (38:46):
I mean I hate it yeah, I, I get you, I get where you're
coming from, but kind of like toget on the dispatcher side a
little bit.
Can you imagine how muchbullshit they got to put up with
with calls and to make them theway they are?

Lano (39:07):
To be like so dead toned.
Someone that's calling allhysterical.

Rick (39:14):
But they get that every night, every call.

Lano (39:18):
Yeah, but I mean it's just them.
They should tell the personlike we have someone going
already and then after that time, I need you to calm down, I
need to get information and thisand that People are on their
way.
I just keep saying that peopleare on their way because people
are hysterical, they're yellingand they're like I need someone
here and the stupid dispatcheris just like like asking stupid

(39:40):
questions when they when theperson that's just wants to know
that someone's on their wayalready yeah you know, I don't
know.
It's just one thing that pissesme off with them dispatchers,
pissers, piss me off.

Migg (39:53):
One thing I've been seeing that's really funny.
On Instagram, on Tim ConwayJr's feed, they've been putting
up these videos of, I guess,police interactions With people,
but they do like littlecartoons of them.
That shit is so funny, dude.

(40:14):
He's like, I guess it's alllike with people, but they do
little cartoons of them.
That shit is so funny, dude.
I guess it's all pulled off ofaudio comes from the body cam
footage so you can heareverything really clear and just
these cops and these charactersthat they draw and everything.
I'm going to try to save someof them next time I see them,
that way I can show them to youguys.
But it's so funny, dude.

Rick (40:36):
When is that white notice starting?

Migg (40:37):
It's mostly they're dealing with drunk drivers that
they're pulling over, andthey're just people that feel so
entitled.
You know that they don't ohyeah.

Lano (40:46):
You know, the young rich kids?

Migg (40:48):
Yeah, but the thing is you're seeing these stupid
little cartoons.

Lano (40:52):
That's what makes it funny , but it's the real voices of
them.
It's the real voices.
Oh that's cool.

Rick (40:58):
It says another one I thought it was coming out this
year, but it says White Lotus iscoming out 2025.

Lano (41:03):
I hear a lot about that show Because of the writer's
strike.
It's good, watch it.
They're crazy.

Rick (41:13):
So did anything else that we see that was worth talking
about or no?
Um, any movies?
I mean, I haven't really beento any movies or anything that
you wanted to see.

Migg (41:21):

I like that storyline.
I got to see three.

There's that new carniceríathat opened up right there in La
Puente, on Hacienda Boulevard.

Rick (42:36):
Oh, I got another thing to say Uh-huh, where what's it
called?

Lano (42:42):

Migg (42:42):
Carnicería, I think I didn't hear about it.

Well, trevor's been telling usthat he wanted to try it for the
longest and we're like, oh yeah, we'll go, we'll go, but we
don't go.

This was just stacked.

Lano (43:17):
This was just stacked.
They had the both asada and thepreparada next to each other,
just stacked, and then thepreparada was just a little bit
darker.
But man, I don't know what theydid to that meat, but that
thing tastes so damn good.
So you know, I I saw this inbellflower, we're eating at a
restaurant.

Rick (43:37):
It was across the street and I was like I wanted to check
it out.

Lano (43:40):
I didn't know.

Rick (43:41):
There's one in west covina , and then there's one, like you
said, la puente.

Lano (43:43):
Yeah, so it's a big chain as soon as we walked in.
The smell is like I saw andthen they got.
They got like uh, an australianWagyu damn steak there for like
45 bucks.

Rick (43:57):
Oh, I'm going to play a goal.
This weekend they had like fouror five different Wagyu steaks
right there.
Different steaks Because I didsee one in Bellflower and I was
like it caught my eye.

Lano (44:06):
And then Mark got a couple things of chorizo.

Rick (44:12):
How was the?

Lano (44:12):
chorizo and he got Some cheese, some Oaxaca cheese, and
he just he mixed it in like that, the chorizo and the cheese,
just all right Queso fundido.
Yeah, man, dude, so damn good.

(44:33):
But that asada, we didn't donothing to it, yeah, nothing, we
just threw it on the grill andthat was it.
I messed up because I thought Ihad mesquite.
I thought I had mesquite at thedamn thing, but I forgot that
you had just used that regularcharcoal for the smoker.
Oh yeah, so we cooked it atthat.
But, man, this damn meat isdamn delicious.

(44:56):
You got to try it, because Idon't know how they marinate
that damn meat, but it just hasso much good flavor.

Rick (45:05):
Look at how they put the address.
They put like that's like USA,huh, but like the Mexican, like
Estados Unidos, yeah.
So are they from somewhere LikeMexico or what Cause?
Why would they Put theiraddress like that?
I mean, I don't see it on here,but I'm gonna check it out.
I'm gonna get some meat thisweekend.

Lano (45:25):
Yeah, go Get that meat, and then you, you won't regret
it, man.

Rick (45:31):
So Well, this is during the summer break.
We went to check out that DutchBrothers that Miggie was
talking about what'd you order?

Lano (45:40):
The Rebel, you know there's one right there in West
Covina.

Rick (45:42):
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the one I went to.
Well, first we came back fromSan Diego.

Lano (45:46):
The one in Ball Prox is not open yet.

Rick (45:47):
We had it in Carlsbad and then we liked it and then, like
I had it, and then we were goingto West Covina.
Like every Saturday, we'd begoing out there on the way to my
mother-in-law's house man likeI, they didn't have that, that
one that you talked about, thepop rocks, yeah, because it was

(46:07):
like fourth of july, that it waslike the week was over, the
special, so they had like a newgold medal.
Because, like it was like theolympics but it didn't, but it
didn't have the pop rocks.
But, um, that rebel drink.
I'm hooked on that energy drinkthing.
This is because they give youlike a big old, like I mean I
got the large.
They give you like a big oldcup cup.
It's hard to get like an energydrink, like a super big, large
flavor, like that big, but I'vebeen getting like the Rainbow

(46:29):
Sherbert.

Lano (46:30):
What is it?
It's an energy Rebel.

Rick (46:34):
It's not a Red Bull, it's called Rebel.
It's like their version ofenergy.
The energy drink is Rebel.

Migg (46:39):
But they flavor it, you know.

Rick (46:41):
So I've been getting like Rainbow Sherbert, they can put
cream on it.
I get the, the mixed, or what'sit called, the it's not icy,
it's.

Lano (46:50):
I think that's why they take so long, because they do so
much shit.
Well, they call them freezes.

Rick (46:54):
Freezes, yeah, blended.
But I was getting it so muchwhen my wife told me Like get
the no sugar one Cause we weregetting it like every day like a
large, like we were getting itlike Like three times a week.
This came out and then we keepchecking for the Baldwin Park
yet but it's still not open yet.

Lano (47:09):
Yeah, we went to the Baldwin.
The Baldwin.

Migg (47:12):
Park one dude, the one that's right near Rick's house.
I don't think that's going tobe a good location to go to dude
, because where it's at and forthe amount of people that go to
these places, yeah, it's goingto be a nightmare.

Lano (47:25):
We've been trying different hours, there's always
a big line.

Rick (47:27):
It depends because if they have one in West Covina, and
then Bob and Park, but the linein West Covina sometimes goes
out into the street.

Migg (47:33):
I don't know, because on the way to Manila South it's off
of 210.
They got one off of Sierra andone off of Citrus, I think, and
those places are too far apartfrom each other and both those
get like stupid packed, butpeople are going to be heading
towards the freeway.

Rick (47:52):
Yeah, because we drove out to Palm Desert and then we saw
like three of them on the waylike freeway signs.

Migg (47:57):
Well, I went the other day because they finally have the
order ahead on the app.

Rick (48:02):
That's what I saw.

Migg (48:04):
They didn't have that, they didn't used to have that.
Oh yeah, covina.
So I think that's kind of theonly way I would go, because you
get a lot faster that way.

Rick (48:13):
Well, I figure you've been going during the week, huh?
Because on the weekends it'sjust like we've been going like
before church and it's just likejammed We've gone.
The earliest we gone is like930.

Migg (48:24):
I mean, if I go during the week, it'd be like a day that I
got off early or something andI'm like, oh, let me go check it
out, see how it is.
And usually the lines weren'tthat long, but you're still
talking about waiting about 15minutes, 15, 20 minutes in the
drive-thru, that's during theweek.
And that's even getting off,dude, if you get off to get in

(48:47):
line.
Yeah, there's a shitload ofpeople in line standing because
on the weekends it's forget it abig line.
So because I drive by and aslong as I don't see it going out
into the street, it's okay I'llgo in, yeah, but if it's out in
the street the line forget itbut now that now that they got
the order ahead, you, you canorder ahead.
Just go there, park, get off.
They got the line for walk-uporders and they got a line for

(49:10):
the mobile orders or the apporders.

Rick (49:12):
Well, my coworker says that they do priority for the
drive-thru, so she's like alwaysstay in the drive-thru.
The one time we got out for thepre-order like Lori went out
there and like it took a longtime and she was sitting out
there in the sun.
But Pre-order like Lori wentout there and like it took a
long time and she was sittingout there in the sun, but there
was like a big line.

Migg (49:26):
Well, I mean, when you order on the app, it tells you
it takes about 20 minutes.

Rick (49:31):
We haven't done the app yet, so do you have to be like?

Migg (49:34):
nearby like geolocation or no?

Rick (49:36):
No, you just order Okay.

Migg (49:42):
I mean you order says it's going to take them like 20
minutes To have it ready.

Rick (49:47):
Start driving right now, cause I saw the sign there and
asked the lady the girl at thewindow so that pre-order that's
working.
Right now she's like oh yeah,we just started doing it.
Pre-order, you can pick up atthe window or go through the
drive-thru, but I'm not going towait through the drive-thru,
cause you'd be waiting throughthe same thing but, um, on the
tesla, like I put it in, and theballroom park popped up.

(50:10):
So then we're driving a ballroompark and then, um, like right
before we passed your house,like I was like let me pass by
ricky's house first, likeovershoot it, kind of like like
one block.
And then, um, but then laurachecked and it's like, oh, it's
not open, yes, we're like.
Oh.
So I drove by the house and, um, yeah, a lot of cars parked up.
This was on saturday.
Yeah, it was like a bunch of,because I I thought first I

(50:30):
thought I missed the house and Iwas like, oh, no, all these
cars are blocking it.
But, um, laura was like she'slike, oh, that's not his house,
there's a big portion.
I was like, no, no, he addedthat new porch yeah lately, but
we're gonna stop by.
But um, shut up, man, I wasn't.
I mean, this was saturday, likeat 9 30, I wasn't sure.
At night, no, no, in themorning.
In the morning I was there.

Lano (50:49):
We were working on the road.

Rick (50:50):
I was working on trying to get that damn engine out oh get
that stupid thing out, becauseI saw like it seemed like you
had a bunch of cars in the line.

Lano (50:58):
Did you see what happened to the engine?
Me or miggy I?

Rick (50:59):

No, I didn't see.

Lano (51:04):
Miggy, you didn't see it, huh.

Rick (51:07):
You and.

Lano (51:07):
Hermenio, there's a big damn hole in the side of that
block.

Migg (51:16):
Oh, there goes your freaking.

Lano (51:17):
Yeah, there goes my cord.
Yeah, was that the van no, mylittle tiara.

Rick (51:22):
Oh.

Lano (51:23):
How did that happen?
Open it and then I was like Isaw a chunk of the damn yeah of
metal.
Like what the hell is this from?
I was looking at the manifoldsbecause I remember that I told
you that that thing was, was,was stuck.
Yeah, I had to get like a nylonstrap to like pull it, to pull

(51:43):
it out and it finally like went.
Then I saw a piece.
I'm like what the hell is that?
So I said it right there,taking more stuff off, then I'm
hooking the chain and then I'mI'm like jiggling it and I look
at the side of the block andthere's a big hole on the side
of the block.

Migg (52:00):
I'm sure if we would have kept on turning it down, looking
, looking, we would have seen it.

Lano (52:04):
You can't miss it.
Like I didn't take that muchoff, you guys had the majority
of it off.
Like I don't know how you guysmissed it.

Migg (52:12):
Well, I mean, we took off the head and we got to the point
.
What point did we get to?

Lano (52:16):
Everything was off.
We said the the driver's sidewas and the manifold wasn't
blocking it that much it's notlike I look like how is it?
they didn't see this big hole inthe block?
Look how long it took you tosee.
But I couldn't even damn.
I couldn't even damn get thethe thing off because I didn't

(52:39):
want to take, I didn't want.
As soon as you said like yeah,you probably have to take the
damn transmission, I startedlooking underneath.
I was like Dude.
Then I gotta like Take off thedamn shifter, yeah.
And then the the carpets likeNot the carpet, the mat Is
covering the rubber, the rubberis under a metal.

(53:00):
So it's like Like man, I wish Iwould have spent the time
Working on my damn blue truckinstead of wasting time on that
damn truck.

Rick (53:09):
What's going on with the blue truck?

Lano (53:11):
The suspension.
Oh, the stuff we have to put onthe suspension.

said lift up the, lift up theengine, all the lift up the the
engine, all the way up till itdoesn't no more well that's all
we're gonna do a taste testright now oh, um.

(53:32):
And then he says put some, putum, put the, the, put the the
cat underneath the transmission.
It's alcoholic so and he saidjust try to like move it side to
side, jiggle it out, you'll beable to get it.
But he says you got to kind oflike pin the transmission and
then jiggle it out, and thatthing was not budging.
He goes you took all the sixbolts out.

(53:53):
I'm like they're all gone,everything's off, everything's
disconnected.
I was banging it and I couldnot.
And then I was looking atvideos.
These guys are like pulling itoff real easy.
Some people say the shirt poppedout real easy.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
