They said it was a crashlanding, but I guess they said
like some rose bushes orsomething kept them from
completely like going into thethe residence.
But it did end up in thebackyard of someone's house,

little bit into the garage, yeah, anyways.

So today, with all the wind andeverything, there's no
airplanes going up or landing orwhatever.
So I guess they groundedeverybody because of the winds,

like cars were swimming out ofthe way and the thing just
caught me in the fast lane, yeah, and I just stayed.
I mean, I was hoping it wasn'tgoing to be like a big trunk
that was going to mess up mylike crack a light or something.
Yeah, it wasn't going to be likea big trunk that was going to
mess up my like crack a light orsomething, yeah, and it just
stayed it stayed under my grillfor like the majority of the

ride until I made it on the fivefreeway, and then, um, and then
it slowly went down and then Iran over it and then it went.

whole trip there, those, thosefucking beds suck the hotel room

(15:52):
that we stayed at.
Those whole, those damn bedsAre, are they?
They're the worst beds I haveever slept in.
They're all lumpy and soft.
And the pillows were like rocksin them man, like regular
mattresses by far the worst bedthat I've ever slept in In.
They're all lumpy and soft andthe pillows were like rocks in
them man, like regularmattresses by far the worst bed
that I've ever slept in in ahotel.

Lano (16:09):
Because you have a memory from at the house In all my life
traveling.
Huh, you have memory from atthe house, or no?

Mig (16:15):
No, your regular mattress.
Yeah, no, because I need kindof like a firm.
Not stiff, yeah, like a firm.
But man, I was tossing andturning the whole damn week.
Man, that sucks the whole week.
I could not get a good night'ssleep, so already with that I

(16:36):
was waking up every morning withmy neck hurting with a headache
, fucking body aches.
There was one morning I woke upand I had this pain in my knee,
like, like my knee was stressed,like Like my knee was being
Like hyper extended yeah, youknow what I mean.
And I woke up and I felt myknee Like a mean pain and I was

(16:59):
bending it real slowly With amean pain On my damn knee,
because my knee was like that'show bad, that's how, that's how
bad that damn bed was that my,my, my leg was kind of like
hyper extending.
So then, when I was kind ofbending my knee already to
straight to, to bend it, I hadthat pain in my, in my knee is

(17:21):
like.
And then, aside from that,where our room was was right
next to the damn big washerswhere all the workers are
pushing their carts the dayafter the damn New Year's these.
I don't know what the hotel wasthinking, but they have the
truck right there, right infront in the parking lot,
loading the tables or stuff thatthey put out on display,

(17:44):
putting the shit away, like atthree in the morning.
So I'm hearing all that.
I can hear a thing in thehallway.
I was like, and the whole timeI was there I did not get a good
night's sleep, man?
It sucked by far the worst, theworst bed that I have ever
experienced at a hotel.
Who booked the room?
What?

Lano (18:05):
hotel, was it it?

Mig (18:06):
was Mark's wife.
But you would think Like manit's a nice damn hotel.

Rick (18:14):
I was gonna say Was it a nice hotel?

Mig (18:15):
Yeah, it was a real nice hotel, but I don't know, those
fucking beds Were horrible dude.
And then I couldn't know whatelse.
Those fucking beds werehorrible dude.
I got in, I couldn't sleep onthe floor cuz the floor there's
no carpet, it's all damn towelyeah, like stuck.
No, you have a scorpion crawlingunder the door or some shit.

(18:39):
Yeah, but that was thatbeginning like it took me.
It took me couple of days toget past it because, even like
the third day, we went to alittle.
We went to to a little town, uh, sayulita in Nayarit, cause the
state's right there, next stateover, there's North.

(18:59):
Yeah, um, that little town'scool Cause it was like a little
beach town that we went to.
So that was, that was cool andbut man leaving in the morning
like I had body aches and man, Iwas just like sweat, like I
didn't what was the name of thetown?
sayulita oh not that level,sayulita no it's nuevo vallarta,

(19:23):
I think, is the the areathey're trying to promote like
the new.

Lano (19:29):
That's crazy, because that's so.

Mig (19:30):
It's like they're trying to take it away from yeah, so
Puerto Vallarta is down, wherewe stayed at, and then Nuevo
Vallarta is the area wherethey're trying to promote more
people going there.

Lano (19:46):
They have they have a oh, so you're right by the airport,
huh, so you just fly in andyou're right there yeah, a new
um resort or hotel or they got awalmart right there yeah, but
you know what pu Puerto Vallarta, it's real touristy.
So everything's like high price, no bargains.

Mig (20:09):
No, not really.
That's why I think, if you wantto go to Mexico and do like a
beach resort and stuff Like,Hobos or something no.
Well, yeah.

Lano (20:22):
Matalou or something like that.

Mig (20:23):
I think Cthulhu is where it's still kind of like not as
touristy, you know.

Lano (20:34):
Yeah, I don't know it wasn't, it wasn't a real yeah,
on this side um by talum there'slike a lot of places.

Mig (20:49):
There's some other one that I heard is marilu or something
like like it wasn't until wewent, did our stuff like the
little activities yeah where yougo to the little, the little
like kind of like towns or thelittle pueblos, like that was
like nice.
That was a cool little feel ofhow me is.
Yeah, you know, but like outthere it's like real.

(21:10):
They cater to a lot of thetourists.

Rick (21:13):
It's like Americanized You're speaking.

Mig (21:14):
English or Spanish, or even next time, if you guys want to
do a trip like that, go to go toIxtapa.
But like if you don't if youdon't really like that feeling,
ixtapa, because Ixtapa is, likeall, touristy also.
Uh huh.
Where you fly in the airportZihuatanejo Uh huh.
Right there, dude, that's likethat's where you wanna be.

(21:38):
Yeah, that's where they got allthe Mercados and everything,
and it was um I didn't realizeit was cool, like.
Little bit of the jungle that wewere in, like where Vanessa's
aunt and uncle stayed.
They were in an Airbnb and thenright off the river, that thing
was awesome, right, that thingwas nice where they stayed.

(22:01):
I would have gotten waycomfortable sleep there because
you could just open the backdoor and you could just hear the
river oh man, I wish I wouldhave been able to like fall
asleep over there you see, butthat's, that's even nice, if
you're hearing the the wavescrashing everything you know,
but I mean, while we were in, wewere in the front.

(22:22):
Yeah, you're saying that thehotel the hotel, you just walk
um, you walk past the lobby,past the pool, and then you hit
the sand, and then you're rightthere and you walk into the
beach.
So we were on the front side ofthe hotel next to the damn
washers.

Lano (22:40):
Like you not being sick.
How was the weather?
Like cold or hot?
It was hot.

Mig (22:45):
Yeah, it was hot Water's cold, yeah, but it was hot
Water's cold.
Yeah, but it was bearable.
Like, even when we went, likeDovin, like the, we did
something like ATV riding and wewe did a horse, a horse, ride
up to the the waterfall anddiving in that water.
It was pretty chilly, prettychilly.
But yeah, the beach waterWasn't too bad, it was good.

(23:11):
Once you got in, you were good.

Lano (23:15):
But was that your first time?
Yeah, I've never been there.

Mig (23:21):
Go back and then, being that it's a port city, not a lot
of damn seafood places to eatthere Really.
There's like there was notthere's a big presence of
seafood and mariscos Nothing,dude.
I think I saw one like nearbyus, like one seafood restaurant.

(23:42):
There was like a seafoodrestaurant connected to the
hotel, yeah, but it's like not areal big presence of mariscos
dude.

Rick (23:51):
Can you go to?

Mig (23:52):
I mean right now that I think about it.
Ixtapa was the same way, butI'm telling you, since Ixtapa is
more touristy, the actual likearea of Ixtapa where all the
hotels, like the resorts are andeverything that's like way
catered to tourists, so all therestaurants around there are all
like trying to be like theupscale, modern cuisine and shit

(24:15):
and everything.
That's why when, when, when, Iwent, you know when, when, me,
and everyone went.
We were like we're not gonnaeat around here.
It's like let's go back to theguatanejo and let's go to the
mercados over there, becausethat's how, that's how we like
to eat.
You know it's like you go.
You go back to Zihuatanejo andlet's go to the Mercados over
there, cause that's how, that'show we like to eat.
You know it's like you go.
You go back to the, to thelittle towns, or you go where
they have like the centralmarkets.

(24:36):
Yeah, and they got all thelittle food stands in there and
everything, yeah, and that'swhere you get the real authentic
.
That's where you get what wegrew up on.
I, there was like a for like umpennies on the dollar, right,
yeah, the our last boat rideactivity that we did we're
supposed to go snorkeling, andthat was just a scam.

(24:57):
A scam rather than oh reallyyeah, they say we're gonna
snorkel and they say that themarina police, like 30 minutes
before gates the marina police,is um closing the area down
because the water is unsafe orwhatever.
Oh like a scam like that?
Yeah, and then, like one of theother workers had said, like
well, he goes that that spot hasbeen closed already for four or
five days.

(25:17):
So it's like, why the hell dothey sell the ticket?
Yeah, you know, and what areyou going to do?

Lano (25:22):
And these guys on the beach like selling like tickets.
Yeah, they're out in thestreets selling these
adventurous things.

Mig (25:29):
And then they said like okay, well, we're going to get
to this little beach, to thisbeach area.
That's where people can hangout.
Or we could have taken a horseor ATV ride up to the waterfall
and have our lunch up there.
But it's an extra 600 pesos, ofcourse.
So we're like, well, we don'twant to damn, we want to go do,

(25:49):
of course, so we're like wedon't want to.
We want to go do that, so wepaid another.
We lost out on the damnSnorkeling stuff.
Supposed snorkeling.
You're supposed to havekayaking included.
You could have Jet skiing, buthave you ever been snorkeling?
Have you ever done it?
You know what?
It's probably better that youdidn't, because if they didn't
have anybody that was going toinstruct you on how to do it,

(26:12):
james says it's whack, becausehe think he did it.
He says it's bullshit.
He goes, you go out, you swim,like around this rock, and then
you got to go back to the boatand then go.
They waste so much time.
There's this big boat that'sfull of people, like those
charter boats, and they put themon those smaller boats.
No, but I was going to say like, as far as like Actually doing

(26:33):
the activity, it's For me it washard Because I didn't know what
I was doing and it's like it'salmost like a.
If the waters are like a littlerough or anything, you kind of
like start to panic, you know,because you're not used to
breathing through this tubething.

Lano (26:54):
But is it like what I'm imagining, like goggles and a
mask with a little straw?

Mig (26:58):
Yeah, that's it, that's it.

Lano (27:00):
Because I've seen somewhere like your head goes in
some tank and then they dropyou and all this stuff.

Mig (27:04):
No, it's just the goggles with the tube and you keep the
tube above water so you canbreathe and look down.
And then you get on the boatand you see the box full of then
the scoop of the snorkelinggear.
Yeah, like they look, all likeall raunchy.

Lano (27:22):
Yeah, they all look all raunchy.
Looking dude your neck's likeoh we sanitized it.

Mig (27:25):
It's like we're supposed to put our mouth on that shit you
guys even sanitize that shit,yeah, yeah so.

Lano (27:32):
It's just some bowling shoe spray.

Mig (27:34):
Yeah, bowling, bowling, shoe spray.

Lano (27:38):
Yeah, so we didn't do that , it was like yeah, but then
like you get one hour and thenlike 40 minutes of loading and
stuff on the damn beach, youknow.

Rick (27:54):
Yeah.

Mig (27:54):
You want to enjoy everything and then, like us, we
got up and then they took thebull ride to the spot where
we're going to get the horsesand then we got on the horses
and then we went up, we had ourlunch and then we we couldn't
stay too much At the waterfall,we had to come back down, come
back, and then we were waitingFor them to To all these little
boats that are picking up peopleAt the beach, yeah, to put them

(28:16):
back on the boat To come back.
It's just a whole Wasted day,like, yeah, of waiting dude.

Rick (28:22):
Like everything.

Mig (28:24):
Hurry up and wait.

Rick (28:25):
Yeah.

Mig (28:26):
Yeah, it was that sucked, that sucked I wouldn't believe.
I'll tell I'll be flipping offthese guys Like any future trips
, these guys trying to sellthese bullshit Little adventure
packages.
I'm just gonna flip them offRight in their face.
I'm gonna tell them Fuck you.
And they're all competing Likeoh, r2 is better.

Lano (28:46):
That guy's a scam, that guy's a scam, that guy's a scam,
this guy's better, or whateveryeah.

Mig (28:50):
That's why, like, especially in Mexico traveling
with Maribel, you know, becauseshe's like a hustler dude, it's
like she, you know she's reallyheads up when it comes to shit
like that and she would talk todifferent people and try to get
like different deals.
She would talk to differentpeople and try to get like
different deals and that's wherewe always found such good deals

(29:11):
, you know, because she wouldtalk to those same dudes.
You know that offering thosepackages, we never did any of
those, but somehow or another,talking to people, she would
find someone that would go andlike guide us.
Yeah, like in Ixtapa, she founda dude that was willing to take
us out for the day on his ownboat took us fishing took us to

(29:36):
a snorkeling spot and then aftertook us to like a little island
where you could only get to byboat, to cook everything that I
caught and just chill on thebeach, dude like at a private
restaurant and shit damn youknow when, when we went to a
mexico city same thing she founda dude that was gonna pick us

(29:58):
up, take us to the pyramids,spend the day there, you know,
and then bring us back, like,take us to a restaurant to eat
or whatever.
Yeah, that was a hard thingbecause we didn't have a car to
be around.
Yeah, you know, so it's like,but it was all like not with the
people that are trying to selltheir packages or whatever.

(30:19):
Yeah, but it's like findingpeople that kind of do it kind
of like on their own.
Yeah.

Rick (30:26):
You know, I think that was .

Mig (30:27):
That was the case for the people on the beach yeah that
had their stuff already readythere yeah, like guys that had
their boats ready to go fishing,they had their boat, they're
ready to go so that's kind of.

Rick (30:38):
That's kind of what you got to do.
You know, next time go throughthose.

Mig (30:41):
Yeah, next time you go you gotta try to find people that
like, do it on their own.
You know, not the one, the oneatv riding that we did up to the
the water.
I think it was a waterfall too.
I mean, that was the actualpark canopy park, that you go to
them like that's your thing,and you can zipline there and I
guess you can zipline over wherethey uh, oh okay, where they

(31:03):
film predator.
Yeah, so we didn't do the ziplining Because Costa Rica kind
of Messed it up for us, I wasgonna say Did you do it in Costa
Rica?
Dude yeah.

Rick (31:16):
Isn't that like the ultimate?
You know what?

Mig (31:17):
Even Like everything was Like it was.
It was beautiful there InPuerto Vallarta, but, yeah,
after going to Costa Rica, man,after seeing Costa Rica's-
jungle yeah man, you get it likekind of ruined it for
everything else like it doesn't.
Nothing else compares to that.
And then forget it, man, thezip lining in costa rica by

(31:39):
those damn waterfalls and allthat, it's like there's no
comparison anywhere else.

Lano (31:46):
It's like the, the, the jungle was kind of nice, the
areas I went to, but man, it'slike it's not the same well, you
go to ensanada like can youstill get like like shrimp or
fish tacos for like dirt cheapand stuff like on the beach or
no?

Mig (31:59):
yeah, it's not on the beach , it's um right in the town,
yeah, where the ports are but itwasn't like that that stand in
Huerto.
Uh huh El Huerto whereeverybody Hooks together.

They're really cheaper.

Mig (33:07):
There's a food park Across the street and little Food court

like a minute behind the damncountdown, because all the other
hotels were already setting offthe fireworks, yeah, and we saw

Vanessa has to go to thefucking restroom.
So there I go.
She's like I gotta go, I gottago and I gotta fight Through all

They had like a thing that haslike for 80 bucks they had, um,
like a dinner set up all you caneat like a new year's special
yeah and then they had like a djthere that was right off the
beach.
You could have been at the beach, which would have been better
than your you got your restroomsright here if you get too up,

(39:31):
you just go to your room.
They had this big tronco ofdamn meat dude just hanging
there making like I.
I don't know if it's just a bigchunk of of like a carnitas or
I don't know this huge piece ofmeat, slab of meat and then they
had two little small, like twopigs that were, that were being

(39:54):
looked like it was gonna bebombed there.
Man, like they were setting upcool, was like dude and I said I
I regret it.
After I said like no, because,because because mark's wife was
like oh, let's tell everybody tojust come over here, whatever.
But it was just Vanessa's auntand uncle were already over
there and saving the spot andkept calling to see where we're

(40:18):
at and that was the originalplan.
Let's just keep the originalplan, which I wish I had never
gone over there, because thatwould have been so much more
comfortable.
You have aj dance floor there,the food that they had there how
long were you there?
it was like a week, fromsaturday to friday oh wow, yeah,

(40:42):
but although, although,although, this is the saturday
after christmas, although yeahyeah all the hotels had their
own thing going on, which waspretty cool.
It would have been nice just tobe there.

Lano (40:54):
They want to keep you in the house and not lose their
business.

Mig (40:56):
Yeah, because I hate people man, I just hate people being
in that crowd like that.
I hate it.
There were so many people thereand you're just fighting to
keep your spot man, that's why Ijust stayed home, yeah I'm like
I'm I'm done dealing withcrowds.
Man, um, yeah, that, that thatcrowd right there.

(41:16):
I mean it does sound funsometimes to be out and, you
know, be drunk and shit andbullshit with people.
But yeah, I mean, when you'resomewhere and it's too crowded
and you're just it's too hot,you know, and bumping into
people and people acting stupidand people fighting Right, it's

(41:42):
like why didn't I just stay home?
Better?
As soon as you start hitting meand getting close, you're like
like man, I wish I would juststay home, I wish I would just
stay at the damn hotel, tellingyou man.
Everybody was asking me what areyou going to do?
I ain't going to do shit.
Man, all that partying and shit, I already did all that.

(42:04):
I'm burned out on it.
I've already done so muchpartying in my youth.
I don't miss it at all.
It was cool all that, dude.
I'm burned out on it.
It's like I've already done somuch partying in my youth, dude,
it was.
I don't miss it at all, it was,it was.
It was cool.
What.
What saved it?
What saved it was the rhythm ofthe night to show the, the
horse horse riding up to thewaterfall, jumping in the

(42:25):
waterfall, the ATV rides jumpingin the water, the ATV rides.
Sayulita was cool in thatlittle town over there.
I tried to go to sleep there onthe beach.
I didn't even get in the waterover there.
I was trying to go to sleepbecause I was so damn tired.
And then that last day that wewent over to the Airbnb just

(42:49):
chilling in the river, and thenthat last day that we went over
there to the Aunt and Uncle'sAirbnb, like just chilling in
the river, you know, in thewater, it was cool, that was
cool.
So it was.
It was a cool, cool trip.
But New years I ended up notliking being out there.
Live and learn.
So my sister-in-law.

Lano (43:08):
She lives about a half a block From the Rose Parade route
and, being out there, live andlearn.
So my sister-in-law, she livesabout a half a block from the
Rose Parade route.
She saw it.
Yeah, well, we went.
So she lives a half a blockfrom the very end.
She lives on Sierra Madre inColorado, like one of the back
streets, so that's at the veryend of the parade.
So we did it last year whereshe had a little get-together

(43:30):
for New Year's Eve.
We stayed up and then woke upearly, did the parade.
And what's nice is that fromour house we just walk half a
block and we're at the RoseParade, but it's at the very end
so it's not crowded Maybe twoor three people in front of you
like at the curb.

(43:55):
Two or three people in front ofyou, which was fine because,
like the girls could see, andthen um my wife got me a new 360
camera.
So, um, I was holding, I wasjust holding it up like up in
the air like the stick, likerecording the floats.
But, um, like you say, likeI've been to the rose parade,
like maybe once or twice beforethis, and like I hated it with
the crowd, you know all thehustle and bustle, waking up
early and doing it like an oldtown, but this is at the end
where it's not as crowded.
and then, um, like I told mywife, I was like if you want to
celebrate new year, you want togo to the parade.

(44:17):
And she's like, I just want totake the kids to the parade.
So, like we didn't even do thelike, we didn't go to her house
like the night before, like wejust left, like you know, at 6
30 in the morning to get therelike at 7.
But it was nice, more laid back, like we skipped the.
I mean we stayed up at thehouse, me and my wife, for the
New Year's, but like it wasn'tlike a big party, like where
everybody's drinking, so thekids were asleep.

Mig (44:38):
They woke up when we were saying Happy New Year's and went
back to sleep and then we justtook off and saw the Rose Parade
, which was I nice, but like itwasn't like two days back to
back of staying up and thenwaking up early, so um, you can
see the floats the day beforethe parade or the bummer, my

(44:58):
house or by our window they putthem together and they start
driving lining them up yeah sothe day before, everybody lines
up over there and you can seethem because they'll come down.
Irwindale, and then they'll turnon Arrow Highway and then just
start making their way towardsPasadena yeah this is like some
big like warehouses in Irwindale.

Lano (45:15):
And then I think, um, my wife always built a Cal Poly
float by her parents house, bythe campus.
But um, that was our New Year's.
Like I mean, we just woke upand did that and then I had the
rest of the week off.
So we're just like I was sick,just chilling, but, like you
said, like we didn't do thewhole night before, we just did
like one evening, because it'stoo hard with the kids to do

(45:38):
everything.
Like we're still likerecovering from Christmas Eve.

Rick (45:42):
Yeah.

Lano (45:43):
The food yeah.

Mig (45:47):
Food was disappointing for me.

Lano (45:49):
And Puerto Vallarta.
Yeah, yeah, that's.
I mean that was disappointing.

Mig (45:53):
I mean if it's as touristy as you say.
I would imagine it was yeah,because Vanessa was craving
patas de mula and she couldn't.
No one had them.
The, the.

Rick (46:04):
Blood, blood clams, blood clams.

Mig (46:06):
Right, yeah, so I was gonna say clams Nowhere to be found,
wow, yeah.

Lano (46:10):
For a port not to have that yeah.

Mig (46:14):
That's crazy, yeah, oh.
I'll tell you one thing, thoughOn the way when we got back in,
me and Mark were like hey man,what are we going to eat when we
land, when we get back in thegood old yes, old US of A?

I think I'm going to bet heavyon Green Bay Diesel.

(55:30):
I don't even know who's intheir wild card, their wild card
spot.
I think they're a good team.
I think they're gonna havedecent odds.
You know they're playing Phillyhuh.
I mean I, jalen Hurts, iscoming off that concussion.
I'm I don't know, I'm gonna.
I'm a bit big on that.
Honestly, the I don't know how.

(55:50):
I don't know, I'm gonna.
I'm a bit big on that.
I don't know how the matchup is.
I think who the underdog thatI'm liking that's going in and
they're going in hot Becausethey're on a fight game winning
streak the Commanders man.
That team is unbelievable andthey're gonna play the Bucks.
How hot they are, dude.

Lano (56:07):
And another team.
Who's the quarterback?

Mig (56:08):
That dude, daniels, yeah, and or Jaden Jaden, another team
, I think, is going in prettyhot.
I think the Chargers dude, atleast for One week yeah.
I think they'll take outHouston.
I can't believe the BroncosMade a damn playoffs, dude yeah.

Lano (56:29):
I'm guessing the Raiders are out.
How the fuck does that happen?

Mig (56:33):
And then I heard the coach got fired today the three AFC
West teams are in the playoffs.
Yeah, on that note, beginningof the year, that means AFC
sucks.
I had one of my customers askme about the Raiders and what
their record is going to be,because he was all hopeful and
everything and I bursted hisbubble when I gave him my

(56:55):
prediction yeah, which I nailedit 5-12, 4-13, 4-13.
I told him they're only gonnawin 4 games, dude, and he was
like nah, you think so.

Lano (57:09):
I'm like 4 games dude.

Mig (57:10):
They fired AP too, yeah they fired him.

Lano (57:12):
Are you guys happy with that or no?

Mig (57:14):
Fuck.
No, we're not happy dude.

Lano (57:16):
Well, I'm just asking.
I don't know, that's why.

Mig (57:19):
No, you wanted Akiba.
No, I mean with the season orwith the firing.
No, I mean I just.
The firing the firing because Idon't know.

Lano (57:26):
I the firing Cause.
I don't know.
I thought you were talkingabout the season he got rid of
Dante, right, like he had beefwith him and stuff, or no.

Mig (57:32):
Nah.

Lano (57:32):
Or no.

Mig (57:33):
That's all.
That's all management.

Lano (57:35):
Was management Okay.

Mig (57:37):
No.

Lano (57:38):
So what you mean, the season or the firing of oh is it
a good thing or bad thing thathe got fired?
I don't know.
I didn't see a single game, Ithink it's good he inexperienced
.

Mig (57:48):
He's too inexperienced.
The new GM is going to be justI mean, you know, you know what
I wanted to look into, because Ididn't really see that many of
the games all season long andthe one thing I want to
investigate was how were they onpenalties, did they?

Rick (58:11):
play smarter.

Mig (58:12):
Were they more disciplined, regardless of all that,
regardless of how they didwhatever.
But that's the thing.
That's not Teleski, it's nothis head coach, so it's not ever
going to work.
It's not ever going to work,regardless of what little

(58:32):
successes there wasn't withinthe team it doesn't matter, but
that's what I'm saying.
His coach, but that's what I'msaying, you know, yeah, okay,
well, put that aside.
See, that wasn't an issue.
You still, you keep a ap inthere because the players love
him he has him in line, get anoffensive coordinator or
whatever.

Lano (58:51):
Yeah, that's the coach I mean, because obviously the
defense came around.

Mig (58:55):
He's a good coach for back then, for back in the day, like
Vermeer, vermeer, vermeer.

Lano (59:04):
Dick.

Mig (59:04):
Vermeer, dick Vermeer.

Lano (59:06):
Vermeer type yeah, I mean well, he's like a manager, like
not like you know.
Yeah, I mean well, he's like amanager.

Mig (59:11):
Yeah, or Schottenheimer.
They're game managers and theyhad their OC and DC running the
show.

Lano (59:22):
Well, so was.

Mig (59:22):
Belichick and look at everything that he did.
But that era of football,that's where AP's coaching style
would have came through.
Right now this type of football.
You can't have a motivationalor a player's coach in it.
You need X's and O's, and eventhat that there's such a short

(59:43):
leash on them.
And that's just the type offootball it is now.
That's all it is.
They want to use like fivefucking different running backs,
want to run all this fuckingrpo shit, that's true yeah,
there's no that that old styleof coaching is is so what?

Lano (01:00:01):
what do we need?
Well?

Mig (01:00:02):
in short, dude to answer your question.
We need continuity dude yeah,no, that's what disappoints me
you know, we we need One systemand for it to be there At least
10 years.

Lano (01:00:14):
Yeah, and let it grow and see what happens.
Yes.

Mig (01:00:17):
You can't be changing this shit Every two years.
You're never gonna get Putanything together.

Lano (01:00:23):
It's starting over again, yeah.

Mig (01:00:25):
Yeah.
So To Rick's point, whoeverthis GM is Is like he needs to
get his people in or whatever,and his guy, but they need to
know what the hell they're doing, which I'm pretty sure he'll
have.

Rick (01:00:39):
He'll be able to pick someone.

Mig (01:00:40):
Once that's in place, and we have at least five years with
that in place, then I think itstarts seeing some success.
And even even then, then, man,there's such a the players that
are coming out of college rightnow yeah you get a, a good
player, a top prospect.

(01:01:02):
You know it's all about theirmoney, yeah I mean it's just the
whole game, the whole game isdifferent and and I'll say it to
the end of time, dude we hadour window Once they got
Devontae to play with Carr.
Why they blew that shit up withMcDaniels.
I don't know.
I don't know who got intostupid-ass Mark Davis' head that

(01:01:29):
made him do that stupid,boneheaded move to blow up the
team like that and bring in thisshithead to completely destroy
everything I wish.

Lano (01:01:40):
I thought the GM was a black guy Him and Pierce,
they're like two black guys.
No, they got.

Mig (01:01:46):
No, that was the president of like operations and that was,
I think, think after McDanielsgot remember like they came in
together, like came in, likethey're like doing press
conferences together.
That's why I thought this TomTelesco, I wish instead of
giving Kingsbury the damn OC job, they should give him the head

(01:02:07):
coach job, because I think hewould have been good for the
Raiders.

Lano (01:02:16):
But now Brady's involved.
Now, right, yeah.

Mig (01:02:20):
Well, I mean he has input because he has a piece of the
team.
Oh, that was a thing.
That's what I was trying toremember.
He's trying to get Vrabel.

Rick (01:02:31):
I think Brady wants Vrabel and I'm down to remember he's
trying to get.

Mig (01:02:32):
Vrabel.
I think Brady wants Vrabel andI'm down with that.
He did a pretty good job withTennessee when he was there.
I'm definitely down with Vrabel.
I mean, I like what he didthere.

Lano (01:02:40):
Where is he at?

Mig (01:02:40):
now he's probably not coaching.
No, I think he's coaching.
Yeah, if we get Vrabel, I'mdown with that.
Still a lot of work, but I'mdown with Rabel.
You know I'm Whatever it's like, bring in who you're gonna
bring in.
I'm just saying there has to beconsistency.
That's not the Raider way manit's gonna have to become the

(01:03:10):
Raider way the.
Raider way is doing things.
Mierda.
That's true, very true.
You don't.
You don't want to use thatrecipe for success With the
Raiders.
And speaking of mierda, I wantto apologize To all of our

(01:03:31):
listeners and our YouTubeviewers.
Oh, for the last show.
For the last show, dude.
Oh man, was it a shit show,dude?
It's like I know.
I don't know if you guys willsay it or not, but I tried
watching that garbage On YouTube.
Dude and oh dude, it was it washorrific and I tell Lalo
Watching that garbage On YouTubedude, they're saying it and oh,

(01:03:52):

Rick (01:03:53):
Oh, it was horrific.
Okay, so, and I tell Lalo whatdo you think?

Mig (01:03:54):
Is it shit, or Was it just A shit job by the producer?

Lano (01:04:00):
Well, first let's tell us we got banned From YouTube.
We got banned or we gotcensored, so they Strike.

Mig (01:04:09):
No, I just, I just think like Even just Starting.
Or we got censored so theyStrike.
No, I just I just think likeeven Just starting with the card
break.

Lano (01:04:15):
They blocked the audio too , no, but that was before.

Mig (01:04:17):
That was or was no, that was the same show when we were
listening to the music.

Lano (01:04:23):
Yes, same show we did the music after the card break.

Mig (01:04:26):
Dude you were like listening to the whole damn
album dude, okay.
So that's what I'm saying.

Rick (01:04:30):
Like.

Mig (01:04:31):
I said you can only listen to like one minute of the song,
Even the thing with breakingWith the card break.
I was bored out of my mindWatching that shit.
I should have done a better jobdoing that.

Lano (01:04:43):
Well, now we know.

Mig (01:04:44):
I'm gonna get a better camera.

Lano (01:04:46):
Well, I'm gonna use one of these.
Well, we'll use your phone inthe action, because I found out
that these cameras, they coulddo live stream for YouTube.
Okay, well, I don't know.

Mig (01:04:54):
We'll put two on, but all around, dude.
It's like I'm not saying it wasjust Lalo, I'm not saying it
was the music, you know.
I'm not saying it was just me,but it was all around.
The whole show was trash and Iapologize putting that crap out
there, my brother-in-law.

Lano (01:05:07):
He texts me.
He's like I just watched anhour of nothing.

Mig (01:05:10):
Yeah, exactly dude Exactly Dang, so I recognize it.

Lano (01:05:18):
If anybody else wants to deny it, I'll so the card break.
I thought.
I mean I had fun with it, likeyou think you have to be more
narrating it, or what.
I mean we got a bad pack ofcards.

Mig (01:05:36):
I mean what pack of cards?
I mean, what do you?
Well, how are you gonna prove?
I mean, but yeah, but still,you know, it's like a, it's just
I don't know.
I I just think it could havebeen more entertaining?

Rick (01:05:40):
I don't know you saw more.

Mig (01:05:40):
You've seen more of these damn card breaks, exactly, and
the other ones keep my attentionmore than what I did.
But the other one, the otherguys, they're like they, they
have a lot of boxes open, sothey're pretty fast.
No, well, yeah there's guysthat really milk it, because
they're talking about stuff youknow they're talking about, you
know, the league Again, sincebaseball I'm not really too into

(01:06:03):

Lano (01:06:07):
So what are you?
You're into football.

box Again.
