Returning from their summer hiatus, the Drift Down the Road podcast crew kicks off with a technological upgrade that brings their first-ever remote call-in guest. Between laughs about a Home Depot "crop dusting" incident and cravings for chile relleno burritos, the conversation takes a serious turn when health becomes the focal point.
A recent stroke scare involving one host's father becomes the catalyst for the episode's most compelling segment - a weight loss challenge where each participant commits to losing 20 pounds. But this is no ordinary fitness pact. The hosts develop a unique accountability system where everyone must reach their target weight, or the successful participants will be "held hostage" in terms of dietary choices until the stragglers catch up. It's a fascinating look at how friendship, peer pressure, and genuine care can combine to create powerful motivational structures.
The episode weaves through discussions of modern technology's impact on privacy, with one host sharing how managers are now using AI-equipped eyeglasses to record workplace conversations without explicit consent. This leads to thoughtful debate about the boundaries between public and private spaces in the digital age. The hosts also expose predatory "alpha male" online coaching programs that target vulnerable young men, sharing a personal story of how one host's son nearly fell victim to such schemes.
A somber conversation about situational awareness follows the tragic story of a Ukrainian refugee murdered on public transit, prompting reflection on how small decisions can dramatically impact personal safety. Despite the heavy topics, the episode maintains the show's signature balance of authentic friendship, humor, and meaningful discussion.
Ready to join their weight loss challenge or share your thoughts? The hosts invite listeners to call in at 323-207-0012. Tune in next week when they'll be joined by "El Profe" while two hosts adventure in Yosemite. Keep on drifting!

That's scary, it's a tightness.
The pain is inside my knee andit's, and it feels like.

So until I start moving it andI start walking around, then the
(10:44):
pain goes away, like I don'thave no swelling.
Mig (10:47):
But It'll come randomly.
Ricky (10:49):
Yeah, that's why.
Mig (10:50):
You'll wake up one morning and it'll just be swollen for no
reason.

that, or?
Ricky (10:58):

I mean I would take that.
Mark (11:10):
So is it going to derail your Segway?
Ricky (11:13):
Yeah, okay, so health-wise, and also how
Miggy's always talking about.
The generations are soft andall this.
I'm going to challenge you guys.
We got to get healthy,especially with this, with
(11:34):
health scares from my dad.
Lano (11:36):
Oh, what happened with your dad?
Just normal stuff or new stuff.
Mig (11:41):
For all you drifters out there.
About a month ago we had apretty good scare my dad, me and
Rick.
Our dad had a stroke.
Lano (11:50):
Yeah, oh, wow, I didn't know that.
Mig (11:52):
So it was pretty mild in nature but still scary.
Ricky (11:55):
Yeah.
Mig (11:56):
But very preventable.
The reason it happened isbecause he wasn't taking his
meds, and especially thecholesterol one.
And they say that's whathappened.
The cholesterol caused ablockage and a part of the
blockage broke off and went upinto his brain and started
causing a stroke, but luckyenough we were, we were able to
(12:18):
get him to the hospital fastenough to where nothing major
happened.
Ricky (12:24):
So yeah, he's on the mend , he's doing good.
Lano (12:27):
So diet is important, exercise is important he was by
himself or like you're home oh,it was.
Mig (12:33):
Uh, it was at home.
It was on a saturday morningyou're home too.
Ricky (12:37):
Yeah, oh wow so this is kind of calling you guys out
because I want us to do achallenge, a weight loss
challenge, because we need toget going.
Mig (12:53):
I need to, I know I need to .
Ricky (12:54):
But this is I'm in, and I'm saying it more like because
I want you to get serious.
We're all included, but youpick your target weight that you
want to lose, just losingweight.
It's not about you have to dothis exercise, you have to diet
this.
however, you can do it, we haveto hit our target weight but,
(13:20):
this is the thing you pick yourtarget weight, lano, you pick
your target weight you want.
I pick my target weight andthen, mark, I don't know if you
want in on it, but I'll get down.
We all got to hit our targetweight To get the reward.
Yeah, no no.
But the reward is that you knowwe're healthy.
(13:40):
We stay with the routine, yeah,and then even pass.
But let's just say I hit mytarget weight, lionel hits his
target weight, Mark hits histarget weight and you're lagging
and you're struggling becauseyou're not disciplined for
whatever reason.
Mig (14:00):
Well, they're lagging because I'm not disciplined.
Ricky (14:01):
For you're not disciplined.
So I want to say you're goingto hold us hostage where we'll
have to just eat like salads,like we won't be able to Until
he gets there.
Until he gets there, oh shit,you can't win.
So that's why.
Because just like money is like, oh, you know, he won the money
, whatever.
No, that way, you know, you'reholding us hostage and we can't
(14:24):
have our good food Until you'reGetting serious.
Mig (14:27):
This is some Full metal jacket.
Jelly Donut shit right there,man Yup.
Ricky (14:31):
And I think you need that , that, that push yeah, cause
there's no more.
Mark (14:36):
Excuses.
Ricky (14:37):
No more body pain Cause a lot of the body pain.
It'll, it'll.
It'll help out With losing Alot of the weight.
Yeah.
Lano (14:46):
So Okay, we're in September.
So what are you saying?
Like 2026?
Ricky (14:51):
I mean like January, no, no, no, we got to start it Like
if we're starting.
Lano (14:53):
No, no, no, but like we start now, but the end date is
like next year, until we all hitour weight, oh, until you hit
the date.
Ricky (15:00):
No, we have to.
Mig (15:01):
That's the whole point, like if I'm not showing progress
and you guys are.
That's the whole point of whatRick's saying.
Ricky (15:08):
He's holding us hostage.
Mig (15:09):
It's like say you guys all Drop.
Like say Rick dropped 20 pounds, you dropped 15.
You know, mark dropped 15 and Igained 2.
You know, that's when you guyscan start saying it's like okay,
you know.
Well, you know it's like we'regoing to have to start living
miserable until you, until Istart showing improvement.
Ricky (15:33):
And that way that shows you that look, yeah, cause
that's going to make me feellike shit Cause.
Mig (15:38):
I'm like dude, it's like there's consequences because I'm
not trying and I'm making youguys suffer because I'm not
trying.
Yeah, and that's like the wholepoint of our discussions of
accountability andresponsibility for this new
generation Yep, where you knowRick's like hitting it on the
nail, where he's saying that Ijust want to like bitch, bitch,
(15:59):
bitch about it, but do nothing.
Mark (16:01):
Yeah.
Mig (16:03):
So he's calling Hold on.
Mark (16:05):
You guys are talking about just losing weight, like we
can't gain weight.
What if I think I look betterat 325?
Lano (16:11):
Wow, what's your target weight?
Mig (16:16):
It's weight or body percentage no weight dude as
long as you lose your boobies,dude Don't want you gonna stare
at me when I see you.
Mark (16:30):
Wow, unless he could you don't gotta tell me hey, I'm up
here, anymore, I say hey, myeyes are up here, my eyes are up
here.
Ricky (16:39):
Lalo needs to fit in that death row basketball jersey and
you know what?
What's the deadline for this?
No, no deadline.
It's.
Lano (16:53):
It's until everybody hits their weight and we hold the
other hostage or something.
So we can?
Ricky (16:59):
we can all be miserable eating.
We got to pick, all right,since once we hit our weight,
whatever it is like, we're stuckto eating just salads or this
or that until Mick hits hisweight.
Mark (17:15):
All right, well, we got to outline it.
What's like the penalty mill?
And then, how are we going totrack our weights?
Are we going to weigh and set apicture to each other or
something, and hold each otheraccountable, like that?
Ricky (17:26):
However, we need to lose the weight.
Lano (17:29):
That's up to us, but every show an update, or once a month
an update.
Mig (17:35):
Yeah, well, we can figure it out.
Ricky (17:38):
Okay, but at least, let's figure out what's the
reasonable penalty like once out.
What's the the a reasonablepenalty?
Um?
Mig (17:46):
yeah like once, once someone hits the weight, this is
what you just eat, or you'restuck eating that, or what would
be a good since, since myweight loss, my goal is gonna be
a lot more and you guys, morethan likely, are probably gonna
hit your goals first.
Should I?
Should I set like levels?
It's going to be a lot more andyou guys, more than likely, are
(18:06):
probably going to hit yourgoals first.
Should I set like levels?
We can set levels To where Iwant to get to.
Ricky (18:12):
Yep, we can set levels.
Like, my first milestone wouldbe so-and-so, and second
milestone would be this one,Because hopefully that
kickstarts you and then you getin your routine.
Mig (18:21):
Yeah, and then we don't even have to do the challenge
anymore, it's all about routineyeah.
Mark (18:24):
It's just getting you into that routine.
Yeah, it's all about discipline.
Ricky (18:28):
Yeah.
Mig (18:31):
Yeah, discipline and checks and balances too, but say, we
hit our weight.
Ricky (18:35):
It could be like all right, you know we want to.
Our next challenge is it couldbe like we want to do a mountain
like I want to.
Our next challenge is it couldbe like we, we want to do a
mountain, uh, like london couldbe.
I want to do a mountain peakhike.
I ain't going to work withdonald.
Oh no, I'm just.
Yeah, I'm not going to.
I'm not going to.
That guy leaves you for dead.
Fuck that guy I remember thatyeah so it could be like a next
(19:00):
challenge yeah like, becausethere's only so much weight that
we'll be able to lose.
Mig (19:04):
I know.
Ricky (19:05):
So we can just do all right.
My next challenge is I want todo a half marathon in so many
minutes, Right, so once I hitthat, or just runs or whatever,
like we just set different goals.
I mean so, like if you want todo the first levels, like, all
right, we're going to do 10pounds, 15 pounds, 15 pounds,
(19:31):
and then we do it like that,okay, because yeah, I mean to do
for you to hold us hostage ifwe hit our weight, for you to
hold us hostage until you lose50 pounds.
It'll take a while, so we cando levels, this hostage until
you lose 50 pounds.
Yeah, it'll take a while so wecan do levels.
Because I mean me too.
I mean I'm trying to kick thehabit of fucking eating junk
food in.
Mig (19:52):
Yeah, I mean that's hard.
Ricky (19:53):
I go up and down and weigh, like I'm not happy with
my weight and I need a drop.
I'm like what?
245 right now For the marathon.
I want to be like at 215.
Yeah, so I can feel, so I canget that hit that four hours.

That's all you post oninstagram.
Yeah, they're.
They're just um they're they.
Mig (26:50):
They started, um, just like homies and stuff.
Well, I like them.
You know from the hood, youknow just just guys, that that
grew up playing baseball, thathad seen a need for the
community needing like some kindof guidance and leadership, you
know, for the kids that want toplay baseball.
You know.
So they formed an academy or aclub.
(27:11):
You know the Barron's BaseballClub or Academy, where they take
kids and they teach them likethe fundamentals and they play
in, you know, in the rec leaguesand they do a travel ball and
tournament play and everything.
So you know they do all agesand they just started doing
(27:36):
girls softball and baseball.
Also they're expanding.
Ricky (27:40):
Yeah, they're expanding.
Yeah, they're expanding, okay,okay.
Mig (27:43):
That's why we had them on the show, that way they can get
a little more exposure.
You know it's like I told them.
You know it's like for whoeverlistens to us.
Hopefully some people that areinterested, you know will hear
and you know, expand them,because I talk to the coaches a
lot.
Before we had my friend Sylviaon and the coaches, you know
(28:06):
they explained to me that atfirst he started just there was
a couple of kids.
You know that they were playing, you know, trying to teach a
baseball and from a couple ofkids and turned into more and
then they had like a full teamand you know, now they have like
all ages and different levels,you know just like kind of like
(28:28):
all snowball and avalanche, youknow, but like with anything
like that that they do, you knowthey need support, you know.
Or they need more, more kids,you know, to fill bigger teams
and more teams, you know, sothat way they can be more
competitive.
You know they need help, likewith fundraising and stuff.
So that that's why I keep onposting on the instagram all the
(28:50):
barons of baseball stuff, youknow, and uh, that way you guys
can check out their uh websitealso see what they're all about
hey, I saw you spamming it.

Mig (39:28):
Talking about the rabbit holes, yeah, there was a while
back, like a few weeks ago, Iwent down this freaking rabbit
hole because it came up on myYouTube.
I don't know why it came up,but it was crazy as hell.
I should have saved the pages.
Well, I could probably go digit up, but I wanted to send it
(39:49):
to Mark because it was all aboutthe MCU characters.
Marvel, you know, like if theymade the movies but with actors
like, if, like, if say theywould have made it in the 70s,
who would have played who youknow?
Mark (40:07):
like actors, don't tell me you're going to bring up
Sylvester Stallone beingWolverine.
Mig (40:12):
Oh dude, clint Eastwood.
They had Clint Eastwood playingWolverine and he looked badass
dude.
Mark (40:19):
Hey, you gotta search the web.
There's a picture Wood playing.
Mig (40:21):
Wolverine and he looked badass dude.
Mark (40:23):
Hey, you gotta search the web.
There's a picture of SylvesterStallone playing Wolverine.
It's so corny man.
Mig (40:31):
But I think it was gonna be a thing.
I don't think I saw him playingthat, but they did show one
where he was the Punisher.
Mark (40:37):
I checked that out.
I think thisisher would haveprobably dope.
Mig (40:43):
Yeah, but it was cool, man, because it was like showing
actors from like the 60s, 70s,80s and 90s, Like who would play
who.
Lano (40:52):
We got something on the screen.
Is this, the one you can't see,but he's wearing like a red
shirt.
A red shirt, and then he hasthe haircut.
Mig (40:59):
Yeah, that is pretty whack.
Who is that, sylvester?
Lano (41:03):
Stallone yeah, I mean.
Well, it's like.
Ricky (41:05):
AI Dude Hugh Jackman.
Mark (41:07):
No, no, that's before AI, bro.
That's old, that's old.
I've seen that like 10 yearsago.
Ricky (41:13):
No, no, no no.
Mark (41:14):
Hugh Jackman is the best Wolverine.
Mig (41:19):
Yeah, I think you're right dude yeah, yeah, I think you're
right.
Yeah, but I'll think it up.
It's gotta be on my YouTube onmy history.
Ricky (41:24):
I'll think it up and I'll send it to you guys.
I don't think anyone else canplay Wolverine, just like I
don't think Anyone should playJoker After Heath Ledger.
Mig (41:36):
Well, I mean, if you just like, just based on looks alone,
dude.
When I saw how they transformedClint Eastwood into.
Lano (41:43):
Wolverine.
Well, go down the list.
Who was the other characters?
Mig (41:45):
Other characters For Wolverine.
Not only for Wolverine, all theMCU characters they had.
Of course, like in the 70s or80s, if they were going to do
the Hulk, they would have theoriginal, they would have Bill
Bigsby and Lou Frigno do that.
Mark (42:03):
Hey man, was that AI?
Was that AI generated?
Mig (42:06):
It was AI.
No, it was AI.
Mark (42:08):
Oh, was it.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Mig (42:10):
Yeah, but it was cool, man, just to see the rendering and
shit.
Yeah, I've seen stuff like that.
Ricky (42:14):
I've seen stuff like that before it's like they show the
character and then they mergeinto the people.
How?
Lano (42:21):
do you guys feel about that?
The skydiver, you guys got thatone.
Mig (42:28):
Yeah, I love it.
Mark (42:30):
What do you guys feel about those videos?
Ricky (42:32):
Those AI videos, those transformation, now that you're
using AI, Some of them are cool.
Some of them are why, they showthe cat, the like, the actors
when they were like 19 and theygo through the years as they're
getting older, or the ones wherethey're cartoons and they show
like how they look like liveaction, like the simpsons or
something.
Mark (42:52):
Yeah, you know all the ai stuff is kind of trippy, man,
you mean, and uh, it's kind oftrippy.
I'm kind of getting a littletired of seeing it because it's
like everywhere now I'm you know.
But I think it's kind of trippyand I'm kind of getting a
little tired of seeing itbecause it's like everywhere now
.
But I think it's kind of likethe way it's going.
Ricky (43:05):
I'm tired of the baby stuff already.
Mig (43:08):
Oh dude, I was over that shit a long time ago.
Ricky (43:10):
Yeah, it's like everyone's doing like Diovan,
like there's only that one thatI show you guys that I like
because it has that littlepissed off baby.
Mark (43:27):
Yeah, because some'm gonna resemble them.
Yeah, that one resembles them,but like everyone else is like
now they're just like I'm overthat.
You guys, there's a lot ofpeople on the job site now, like
in management, who are wearinglike the the plaid uh necklace
or they're wearing the ray-banglasses and that's how they
document conversations andcreate meeting minutes and all
that stuff do that they don'teven got to tell you because, uh
, legally they're allowed to dothat if it's in a public, you
know atmosphere, and then puttheir phone on speaker so you
(43:50):
know to go on like the whole aiteam.
They're using ai and like chat,gbt, things like that, to just
create all the meaning is andyou know what?
Ricky (43:58):
I don't know, I think wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're that?
No, no, because you know youcan't record Someone without
them knowing.
Mig (44:06):
But if you're out in public ?
Ricky (44:08):
No, no Like if you're like we're in here and there's
like a conversation going on andyou're gonna, there's some dirt
going on, you can't just recordsomeone you have to make it low
key, yeah but what you'resaying, mark is, if it's in
public, you could just record.
Mark (44:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could record those glasses.
That are all those glassesthey're recorded yeah, yeah,
they're ray-ban ones yeah, but.
Ricky (44:37):
But but being that it's a job site, that's not really a
public space.
Yeah, you say we're in ameeting in your trailer.
Mig (44:46):
That's not, you're, not, you're not gonna let the public
go in there so they got, theyhave to I saw.
Mark (44:52):
I saw this cat using it, like in the job site, so like I
would call them out.
Ricky (44:55):
Yeah, I, I did, I did't call him out.
Mark (44:57):
I did.
I called him out today.
I was like, hey, are yourecording?
He's like no, I'm not recordingright now.
I said do you let us know whenyou're recording?
He's like no, I don't have toif it's in an open public area.
Lano (45:07):
Is it a light?
A light doesn't turn on or youdon't see it.
Mark (45:10):
He told me it turns on, but I don't know if it turns on
or not Wait, but even in theback parking lot.
Ricky (45:15):
Yeah, I was going to say, even if you're in the back lot.
Mig (45:18):
that's not a public space, the public's over there, yeah,
but it's.
Mark (45:25):
The public stands in different lines to get away.
Lano (45:27):
They're saying that that guy's wrong.
Ricky (45:28):
No, but the actual land that you're on, the space that
you're on, that's privateproperty Can you be escorted out
of the parking lot if you'reacting up what they say, that
you're trespassing.
Lano (45:41):
So hey, I thought that was a private space, your workers
or other contractors.
Ricky (45:46):
No, it's like management, I don't know, this thing's
getting me heated, buteveryone's starting to do it
though.
Mark (45:50):
Everyone's starting to do it though because now people Now
, like people get on meetingsand things like that.
They have, like note takers,another app.
They have AI otter, and thereason why I bring it up, did
you bring me the whole AI thingin the photos and stuff like
that?
Lano (46:01):
I've used the other for more use it.
Mark (46:03):
People are using it like for everything.
Now.
It's kind of trippy man, youknow um, but it's kind of makes
your work easy.
So what do you do?
Ricky (46:12):
Oh shit Like.
Mark (46:14):
Rick, what if I?
Ricky (46:15):
don't want, I Bullshit.
Would you guys use it?
Would you Like, rick?
What if I don't want thegovernment to have my voice?
I don't want the government tohave my voice, whatever cuts
your time down.
Mark (46:22):
whatever cuts your time down by 30%, and then at the end
it gives you a breakdown ofwhat you did, what you need to
do, how to find it.
So it gives you there.
Would you use it or not?
Ricky (46:33):
So the government doesn't have my voice or my look.
Mig (46:37):
I'll take the extra 30 minutes.
You guys just wait for me ifit's standalone and not
connected to the net or thecloud or anything like that.
Mark (46:46):
Yeah, yeah but if it's connected to the internet in any
way, shape or form.
No, like it's new stuff coming.
Right, guys, it's gonna be theway you know, hey yeah, so so
yeah what happened?
Mig (47:00):
with that guy what?
Ricky (47:01):
happened with that guy mark, that you told him when he
told you that he doesn't have totell you no, I said okay, I
didn't really say anything, Imean I really care too much.
Mark (47:10):
But he said no, um, he's not how to take his run.
A public area which we're inthe open, like back lot area,
and I and people are in public.
Ricky (47:18):
It was a meeting that you were having.
Mark (47:20):
So I think, yeah, we're doing a punchless walk.
So you know, a punchless walkis that the job's done and he
comes through and creates a listof items that need to get fixed
and such.
You know the things that wehave to get done.
Right, right, instead of himcreating a list on pad and paper
or typing it in a computer,he's just talking it and then
what he does is takes it back tohis office, downloads the
(47:41):
information from his glasses,his Ray-Bans, and it just plugs
out a whole list off of thatwith photos.
Lano (47:49):
That's kind of smart, though.
I mean it's efficient it is.
Mark (47:53):
It's efficient.
But I don't know if I washating on him because I thought
it was very smart or I didn'tlike the fact that he was like
recording and really didn't sayanything about it.
Lano (48:00):
Because he's doing it the way you're supposed to be doing
it, because it makes you thinktwice about what you say yeah,
yeah, he's doing it for work andlike saving him, like bringing
out a pad or whatever he'srecording.
Ricky (48:10):
Yeah, and that's that he's recording.
Mark (48:17):
What if you get a sticker on your hard hat that says
notify me for recording.
Boom, that's what I wasthinking.
Oh, there you go.
I do not consent to beingrecorded without being notified.
Bam, or anything you say on thepodcast can and will be used.
Lano (48:34):
I guess you're in the court of law.
Mig (48:36):
I mean, they would have to like blur you out.
I plead the fifth.
Lano (48:39):
Like I watch a lot of those theme park like videos,
like updates on the construction, Like I see your site and stuff
, but some people like blur out,like the background people I
didn't, some people don't.
I don't know what the rules aremaybe youngsters?
Mig (48:59):
hey, what about?
That girl getting stabbed onthat train man.
Hey, dude, I didn't hear whathappened.
Ricky (49:02):
I seen that video today.
Yeah, I saw that.
Mark (49:03):
I haven't seen the full video this poor girl dude.
It's like that fool, just likereached around her they take it
from the beginning, they take itfrom the beginning where.
Lano (49:13):
They take it from the beginning.
Yeah, take it from where.
What happened after it was inNorth?
Mig (49:15):
Carolina the girl.
She's a refugee from Ukraine.
First of all, Russian, so she'sescaping that war, you know,
trying to find a safer place tolive.
Ricky (49:25):
I think she worked at a pizzeria.
She got a coffee shop orsomething like that.
Mig (49:31):
Yeah, a pizzeria, I think she had two jobs, yeah, two jobs
, yeah, and she was leaving oneof them.
She gets on the light railsystem that they have out there
in North Carolina, northCarolina.
Ricky (49:38):
North Carolina.
Mig (49:40):
So she goes and she sits down, and this is what I mean.
What I've been.
I've been just like finishedtalking to my dad, cause I took
my dad to the casino on Saturdayfor his birthday and on the
drive back we were talking aboutthis.
How it pisses me off when I seepeople out in the street
walking or just being wherever,and their faces are always
(50:04):
buried in their phones, dude,and they're not paying attention
to anything that's going onaround them.
They have their faces in theirphones, they have these huge
headphones on blasting who knowswhat, so they're not looking at
anything, they're not aware oftheir surroundings and you can't
hear anything.
And then they wonder why.
(50:24):
Shit happens.
But this Poor girl.
She got on the train and shesat down.
The guy was sitting down andthe seat in front Was empty, so
she sat down.
The guy you know was the guywas sitting down and the seat in
front was empty.
So she, she sat down and, youknow, like all of us you know,
just started scrolling on herphone and this dude, for no
(50:46):
reason whatsoever, just got up,reached around and it looked
like he started punching her inthe in the face I didn't see
video, it just shows the.
Yeah, it stops it.
It stops it.
Well, you know, because Ifollow you got to go deeper.
I follow David Harris Jr and heposted the whole video, but he
put a warning On Instagram.
On Instagram, I'm going tocheck that out.
(51:10):
Yeah, so you know.
Ricky (51:12):
Well, you see him in the video where he puts out his
pocket knife.
Mig (51:17):
It didn't even show that dude, it's like you see it where
he goes in his pocket comes out, and then he flips it open.
I didn't see that because hemust have just like cut to where
the dude got up.
Because it looks like he justcame around her and just started
like punching her.
Yeah, you know, and she evenreacted.
Ricky (51:36):
You know like she put her .
Mig (51:36):
Her hands up like this, like, oh, my Like, why is this
guy hitting me?
And she just like this.
And then you just see the poorgirl Just like, she just like.
Slumps over dude and just fallson the floor.
Lano (51:49):
I was like dude I'm like.
So she died.
Mig (51:52):
Yeah, cause of dude yeah.
Lano (51:55):
Slashed her throat.
Mig (51:57):
So she bled out like in seconds.
You know, you can see it rightthere you can see her life lever
.
Right there, Sad dude it wassad dude and the worst thing
about it is that this guy shouldbe rotting in jail.
Ricky (52:13):
He's a convicted felon of I don't know how many damn
convictions, but these idiots,you know that are in charge he's
a convicted felon Of I don'tknow how many Damn convictions,
but these idiots.
Mig (52:20):
That are in charge, they post no bail and they say that
the guy's mentally ill so hecan't stay in jail, and on a
promise that he's going to showup To his next trial 14 already.
Ricky (52:38):
I'm like so is he mentally capable or mentally ill
.
I think it was 14 feloniesSomething like that dude.
It's a ridiculous amount.
Mig (52:46):
He had a huge rap sheet.
Yeah, and this guy's still onthe street.
And then they want to say that,you know, because he's mentally
ill, you know.
That's why they don't put himin jail.
But yet he made a promise toappear in court for the last
thing that he committed.
Ricky (53:05):
You guys ever think about like she got on the train and
she just sat down, like that onedecision cost her life, yeah.
You guys ever think of how manydecisions you've made in your
life that had you avoid death,like it could be, like you ran a
little late so you didn't run.
(53:25):
The red light about that shitall the time like how many times
in our lifetime have we avoideddeath with just the little
decisions that we?
Mig (53:32):
made.
That thought crosses my mindall the time whenever?
Well, that whenever whenever Iarrive somewhere early or I get
there late for whatever reason,you know, I'm like you know what
it happened for a reason.
Ricky (53:43):
Yeah.
Mig (53:44):
It's like cause what if you know and I've come up sometimes
where I've come up to like anaccident that just happened and
I do it If I hadn't gottendelayed at that one lighter, if
this one dude hadn't cut me offand I got pissed and got stuck
at that that light, that wouldhave been me, yeah.
Ricky (54:01):
That's what I was thinking with this poor girl.
Like man, why didn't you justgo sit in the back or or go to
the front?
Mig (54:09):
Somewhere where no one could come up from behind you.
Ideally, that's what you wantand that's why, like whenever I
go to Restaurants or anywhere Tosit down, I'm always trying to
find a seat where I can see thedoor, see who's coming in and
make sure that there's no onethat can come up behind me.
I'm always trying to do that.
(54:31):
My ex she would always tell mewhy are you always looking
around?
Mark (54:36):
I'm like I'm like you too I look for exits.
Mig (54:41):
With everything that's going on.
And you're still asking me whyI look around the way I do.
Mark (54:45):
Right, you know what I trip out on how come nobody did
anything yeah.
Mig (54:55):
I don't even know she made us scream or anything.
Ricky (54:56):
She didn't there.
Yeah, no one, I don't even know.
She made a scream, or anything.
Huh, she didn't scream so noone, even I zoomed in yeah, her
face on the floor her face.
Mig (55:05):
It was a look of shock yeah like she was being attacked,
because I guarantee I guaranteeyou she's not even the lady.
Ricky (55:11):
There's a lady across from her tour.
There was a lady there, so Idon't even know how she didn't
yell.
Lano (55:17):
But it happened so fast Because I'm telling you.
Mig (55:19):
It just looked, because I looked at the video over and
over and I tried to look closelyand there wasn't like a huge
thing of blood Anywhere ornothing.
Ricky (55:28):
It wasn't to the drip of the blood on the knife.
Yeah, it wasn't.
Mig (55:32):
It wasn't like in the movies, you know where.
It sprays all over the place orwhatever you know it's like it
must have just like came down,stayed all on her clothes and
everything, and then not untilshe slumped over and fell in
between the seat and the littlepartition.
Lano (55:47):
Yeah, Sad dude.
Mig (55:49):
Sad, you know, but I mean that's where we're at right now,
that all these judges, allthese politicians, and
everything, would rather protectthe criminals and give them
more rights than upstandingcitizens.
Ricky (56:08):
You know, you just you just, we just gotta be aware
yeah.
Mig (56:14):
I mean, bottom line is you gotta keep your awareness up.
You just gotta keep yourawareness up, you can up, you
can't let your guard down.
Ricky (56:20):
We're at the point where we have to control what we can
control.
Lano (56:23):
It looks like these outside calls.
I just get an hour at a time,so it looks like we're going to
lose Mark.

Mig (09:43):
That's what I wanted to do with this show.
I wanted to welcome you to thebroken down old man club.
Ricky (09:50):
Man, I've been breaking down man.
Lano (09:53):
It was a non-contact injury, like nothing happened,
like you were by yourself.
Ricky (09:56):
Yeah, I was non-contact.
Mark (09:58):
I was trying to get a raise.
I was stepping into the trenchI was trying to get promotion.
Ricky (10:03):
My knee just like got caught up high into the trench.
We're trying to get promotion.
My knee just like got caught uphigh on the trench and my knee
twisted and it just popped.
But so I went and continuedtwisting my knee, like I spun to
straighten out my knee and Ipulled my knee towards me.
Mig (10:17):
You say that even one of his employees heard it pop dude
yeah.
Ricky (10:24):
My helper right next to me is like man, that your knee,
my whole life flashed before myeyes Like welcome to the club.
That's scary, it's a tightness.
The pain is inside my knee andit's, and it feels like.
When I get the pain it feelslike a tightness.
So until I start moving it andI start walking around, then the
(10:44):
pain goes away, like I don'thave no swelling.
Mig (10:47):
But It'll come randomly.
Ricky (10:49):
Yeah, that's why.
Mig (10:50):
You'll wake up one morning and it'll just be swollen for no
reason.
Ricky (10:53):
Yeah.
Mark (10:55):
So are you like, are you the handicap or anything like
that, or?
Ricky (10:58):
what?
Nah, I'm not.
I mean I, I would welcome ahandicap plaque so I could park
in the front parking lot, maybean express lane.
I mean I would take that.
Mark (11:10):
So is it going to derail your Segway?
Ricky (11:13):
Yeah, okay, so health-wise, and also how
Miggy's always talking about.
The generations are soft andall this.
I'm going to challenge you guys.
We got to get healthy,especially with this, with
(11:34):
health scares from my dad.
Lano (11:36):
Oh, what happened with your dad?
Just normal stuff or new stuff.
Mig (11:41):
For all you drifters out there.
About a month ago we had apretty good scare my dad, me and
Rick.
Our dad had a stroke.
Lano (11:50):
Yeah, oh, wow, I didn't know that.
Mig (11:52):
So it was pretty mild in nature but still scary.
Ricky (11:55):
Yeah.
Mig (11:56):
But very preventable.
The reason it happened isbecause he wasn't taking his
meds, and especially thecholesterol one.
And they say that's whathappened.
The cholesterol caused ablockage and a part of the
blockage broke off and went upinto his brain and started
causing a stroke, but luckyenough we were, we were able to
(12:18):
get him to the hospital fastenough to where nothing major
happened.
Ricky (12:24):
So yeah, he's on the mend , he's doing good.
Lano (12:27):
So diet is important, exercise is important he was by
himself or like you're home oh,it was.
Mig (12:33):
Uh, it was at home.
It was on a saturday morningyou're home too.
Ricky (12:37):
Yeah, oh wow so this is kind of calling you guys out
because I want us to do achallenge, a weight loss
challenge, because we need toget going.
Mig (12:53):
I need to, I know I need to .
Ricky (12:54):
But this is I'm in, and I'm saying it more like because
I want you to get serious.
We're all included, but youpick your target weight that you
want to lose, just losingweight.
It's not about you have to dothis exercise, you have to diet
this.
however, you can do it, we haveto hit our target weight but,
(13:20):
this is the thing you pick yourtarget weight, lano, you pick
your target weight you want.
I pick my target weight andthen, mark, I don't know if you
want in on it, but I'll get down.
We all got to hit our targetweight To get the reward.
Yeah, no no.
But the reward is that you knowwe're healthy.
(13:40):
We stay with the routine, yeah,and then even pass.
But let's just say I hit mytarget weight, lionel hits his
target weight, Mark hits histarget weight and you're lagging
and you're struggling becauseyou're not disciplined for
whatever reason.
Mig (14:00):
Well, they're lagging because I'm not disciplined.
Ricky (14:01):
For you're not disciplined.
So I want to say you're goingto hold us hostage where we'll
have to just eat like salads,like we won't be able to Until
he gets there.
Until he gets there, oh shit,you can't win.
So that's why.
Because just like money is like, oh, you know, he won the money
, whatever.
No, that way, you know, you'reholding us hostage and we can't
(14:24):
have our good food Until you'reGetting serious.
Mig (14:27):
This is some Full metal jacket.
Jelly Donut shit right there,man Yup.
Ricky (14:31):
And I think you need that , that, that push yeah, cause
there's no more.
Mark (14:36):
Excuses.
Ricky (14:37):
No more body pain Cause a lot of the body pain.
It'll, it'll.
It'll help out With losing Alot of the weight.
Yeah.
Lano (14:46):
So Okay, we're in September.
So what are you saying?
Like 2026?
Ricky (14:51):
I mean like January, no, no, no, we got to start it Like
if we're starting.
Lano (14:53):
No, no, no, but like we start now, but the end date is
like next year, until we all hitour weight, oh, until you hit
the date.
Ricky (15:00):
No, we have to.
Mig (15:01):
That's the whole point, like if I'm not showing progress
and you guys are.
That's the whole point of whatRick's saying.
Ricky (15:08):
He's holding us hostage.
Mig (15:09):
It's like say you guys all Drop.
Like say Rick dropped 20 pounds, you dropped 15.
You know, mark dropped 15 and Igained 2.
You know, that's when you guyscan start saying it's like okay,
you know.
Well, you know it's like we'regoing to have to start living
miserable until you, until Istart showing improvement.
Ricky (15:33):
And that way that shows you that look, yeah, cause
that's going to make me feellike shit Cause.
Mig (15:38):
I'm like dude, it's like there's consequences because I'm
not trying and I'm making youguys suffer because I'm not
trying.
Yeah, and that's like the wholepoint of our discussions of
accountability andresponsibility for this new
generation Yep, where you knowRick's like hitting it on the
nail, where he's saying that Ijust want to like bitch, bitch,
(15:59):
bitch about it, but do nothing.
Mark (16:01):
Yeah.
Mig (16:03):
So he's calling Hold on.
Mark (16:05):
You guys are talking about just losing weight, like we
can't gain weight.
What if I think I look betterat 325?
Lano (16:11):
Wow, what's your target weight?
Mig (16:16):
It's weight or body percentage no weight dude as
long as you lose your boobies,dude Don't want you gonna stare
at me when I see you.
Mark (16:30):
Wow, unless he could you don't gotta tell me hey, I'm up
here, anymore, I say hey, myeyes are up here, my eyes are up
here.
Ricky (16:39):
Lalo needs to fit in that death row basketball jersey and
you know what?
What's the deadline for this?
No, no deadline.
It's.
Lano (16:53):
It's until everybody hits their weight and we hold the
other hostage or something.
So we can?
Ricky (16:59):
we can all be miserable eating.
We got to pick, all right,since once we hit our weight,
whatever it is like, we're stuckto eating just salads or this
or that until Mick hits hisweight.
Mark (17:15):
All right, well, we got to outline it.
What's like the penalty mill?
And then, how are we going totrack our weights?
Are we going to weigh and set apicture to each other or
something, and hold each otheraccountable, like that?
Ricky (17:26):
However, we need to lose the weight.
Lano (17:29):
That's up to us, but every show an update, or once a month
an update.
Mig (17:35):
Yeah, well, we can figure it out.
Ricky (17:38):
Okay, but at least, let's figure out what's the
reasonable penalty like once out.
What's the the a reasonablepenalty?
Um?
Mig (17:46):
yeah like once, once someone hits the weight, this is
what you just eat, or you'restuck eating that, or what would
be a good since, since myweight loss, my goal is gonna be
a lot more and you guys, morethan likely, are probably gonna
hit your goals first.
Should I?
Should I set like levels?
It's going to be a lot more andyou guys, more than likely, are
(18:06):
probably going to hit yourgoals first.
Should I set like levels?
We can set levels To where Iwant to get to.
Ricky (18:12):
Yep, we can set levels.
Like, my first milestone wouldbe so-and-so, and second
milestone would be this one,Because hopefully that
kickstarts you and then you getin your routine.
Mig (18:21):
Yeah, and then we don't even have to do the challenge
anymore, it's all about routineyeah.
Mark (18:24):
It's just getting you into that routine.
Yeah, it's all about discipline.
Ricky (18:28):
Yeah.
Mig (18:31):
Yeah, discipline and checks and balances too, but say, we
hit our weight.
Ricky (18:35):
It could be like all right, you know we want to.
Our next challenge is it couldbe like we want to do a mountain
like I want to.
Our next challenge is it couldbe like we, we want to do a
mountain, uh, like london couldbe.
I want to do a mountain peakhike.
I ain't going to work withdonald.
Oh no, I'm just.
Yeah, I'm not going to.
I'm not going to.
That guy leaves you for dead.
Fuck that guy I remember thatyeah so it could be like a next
(19:00):
challenge yeah like, becausethere's only so much weight that
we'll be able to lose.
Mig (19:04):
I know.
Ricky (19:05):
So we can just do all right.
My next challenge is I want todo a half marathon in so many
minutes, Right, so once I hitthat, or just runs or whatever,
like we just set different goals.
I mean so, like if you want todo the first levels, like, all
right, we're going to do 10pounds, 15 pounds, 15 pounds,
(19:31):
and then we do it like that,okay, because yeah, I mean to do
for you to hold us hostage ifwe hit our weight, for you to
hold us hostage until you lose50 pounds.
It'll take a while, so we cando levels, this hostage until
you lose 50 pounds.
Yeah, it'll take a while so wecan do levels.
Because I mean me too.
I mean I'm trying to kick thehabit of fucking eating junk
food in.
Mig (19:52):
Yeah, I mean that's hard.
Ricky (19:53):
I go up and down and weigh, like I'm not happy with
my weight and I need a drop.
I'm like what?
245 right now For the marathon.
I want to be like at 215.
Yeah, so I can feel, so I canget that hit that four hours.
(20:15):
I think I need to be at 215.
Lano (20:20):
How close have you gotten that four hours?
Ricky (20:22):
It was one year.
I was like four hours, likenine minutes, I think Something
like that.
Mig (20:28):
I was close to like 10 minutes 10 minutes yeah.
Ricky (20:31):
But that was a few years ago and that and that, and I was
so pissed because I got fuckingcramps If I didn't have cramps,
I would have already broke.
Lano (20:38):
I feel like this year you're doing good with your
training, but then I don'tremember.
Mig (20:52):
Yeah, doing good with your training, but then I don't
remember.
Ricky (20:53):
Yeah no, yeah, it was good.
What was your time this year?
Um, I think I was just underfive hours.
Okay, you felt yourself.
You felt yourself get hurt, oryou felt like you didn't want to
.
Lano (20:56):
I guessed out, I guessed out, so that's what I was.
Every year you do it.
Are you feeling like you'regetting um like more tired, like
more tired, because your body'slike no getting older every
year?
Ricky (21:04):
the past years I haven't trained for it so it's like I
just go out and do it.
I mean, of course I'm gonnafeel horrible, so I can't even
gauge if I'm, you know, goingdownhill.
I was gonna.
I mean your body's getting olderevery year yeah, but if you
stay in the routine like Ialways say, I'm gonna stay
running all year long and Idon't, but I.
But if you stay in the routinelike I always say, I'm going to
(21:25):
stay running all year long and Idon't, but I think if you stay
in that routine, it'll be fine.
Because, dude, if these damn 60, 70-year-olds are still down
out there doing good timesbecause they're runners.
Lano (21:38):
But that's their routine.
I mean they wake up andprobably run.

Yeah, they're dedicated runners.
Eat their toast and everything.
I mean they wake up andprobably run.

We had.
We had some big numbers yeah.

have been winning.
Ricky (26:31):
They've been bringing home the bringing home the rings

Mark (26:43):
Who are these?
Who are these folks?
The baron folks?
That's all you post oninstagram.
Yeah, they're.
They're just um they're they.
Mig (26:50):
They started, um, just like homies and stuff.
Well, I like them.
You know from the hood, youknow just just guys, that that
grew up playing baseball, thathad seen a need for the
community needing like some kindof guidance and leadership, you
know, for the kids that want toplay baseball.
You know.
So they formed an academy or aclub.
(27:11):
You know the Barron's BaseballClub or Academy, where they take
kids and they teach them likethe fundamentals and they play
in, you know, in the rec leaguesand they do a travel ball and
tournament play and everything.
So you know they do all agesand they just started doing
(27:36):
girls softball and baseball.
Also they're expanding.
Ricky (27:40):
Yeah, they're expanding.
Yeah, they're expanding, okay,okay.
Mig (27:43):
That's why we had them on the show, that way they can get
a little more exposure.
You know it's like I told them.
You know it's like for whoeverlistens to us.
Hopefully some people that areinterested, you know will hear
and you know, expand them,because I talk to the coaches a
lot.
Before we had my friend Sylviaon and the coaches, you know
(28:06):
they explained to me that atfirst he started just there was
a couple of kids.
You know that they were playing, you know, trying to teach a
baseball and from a couple ofkids and turned into more and
then they had like a full teamand you know, now they have like
all ages and different levels,you know just like kind of like
(28:28):
all snowball and avalanche, youknow, but like with anything

Mig (39:28):
Talking about the rabbit holes, yeah, there was a while
back, like a few weeks ago, Iwent down this freaking rabbit
hole because it came up on myYouTube.
I don't know why it came up,but it was crazy as hell.
I should have saved the pages.
Well, I could probably go digit up, but I wanted to send it
(39:49):
to Mark because it was all aboutthe MCU characters.
Marvel, you know, like if theymade the movies but with actors
like, if, like, if say theywould have made it in the 70s,
who would have played who youknow?
Mark (40:07):
like actors, don't tell me you're going to bring up
Sylvester Stallone beingWolverine.
Mig (40:12):
Oh dude, clint Eastwood.
They had Clint Eastwood playingWolverine and he looked badass
dude.
Mark (40:19):
Hey, you gotta search the web.
There's a picture Wood playing.
Mig (40:21):
Wolverine and he looked badass dude.
Mark (40:23):
Hey, you gotta search the web.
There's a picture of SylvesterStallone playing Wolverine.
It's so corny man.
Mig (40:31):
But I think it was gonna be a thing.
I don't think I saw him playingthat, but they did show one
where he was the Punisher.
Mark (40:37):
I checked that out.
I think thisisher would haveprobably dope.
Mig (40:43):
Yeah, but it was cool, man, because it was like showing
actors from like the 60s, 70s,80s and 90s, Like who would play
who.
Lano (40:52):
We got something on the screen.
Is this, the one you can't see,but he's wearing like a red
shirt.
A red shirt, and then he hasthe haircut.
Mig (40:59):
Yeah, that is pretty whack.
Who is that, sylvester?
Lano (41:03):
Stallone yeah, I mean.
Well, it's like.
Ricky (41:05):
AI Dude Hugh Jackman.
Mark (41:07):
No, no, that's before AI, bro.
That's old, that's old.
I've seen that like 10 yearsago.
Ricky (41:13):
No, no, no no.
Mark (41:14):
Hugh Jackman is the best Wolverine.
Mig (41:19):
Yeah, I think you're right dude yeah, yeah, I think you're
right.
Yeah, but I'll think it up.
It's gotta be on my YouTube onmy history.
Ricky (41:24):
I'll think it up and I'll send it to you guys.
I don't think anyone else canplay Wolverine, just like I
don't think Anyone should playJoker After Heath Ledger.
Mig (41:36):
Well, I mean, if you just like, just based on looks alone,
dude.
When I saw how they transformedClint Eastwood into.
Lano (41:43):
Wolverine.
Well, go down the list.
Who was the other characters?
Mig (41:45):
Other characters For Wolverine.
Not only for Wolverine, all theMCU characters they had.
Of course, like in the 70s or80s, if they were going to do
the Hulk, they would have theoriginal, they would have Bill
Bigsby and Lou Frigno do that.
Mark (42:03):
Hey man, was that AI?
Was that AI generated?
Mig (42:06):
It was AI.
No, it was AI.
Mark (42:08):
Oh, was it.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Mig (42:10):
Yeah, but it was cool, man, just to see the rendering and
shit.
Yeah, I've seen stuff like that.
Ricky (42:14):
I've seen stuff like that before it's like they show the
character and then they mergeinto the people.
How?
Lano (42:21):
do you guys feel about that?
The skydiver, you guys got thatone.
Mig (42:28):
Yeah, I love it.
Mark (42:30):
What do you guys feel about those videos?
Ricky (42:32):
Those AI videos, those transformation, now that you're
using AI, Some of them are cool.
Some of them are why, they showthe cat, the like, the actors
when they were like 19 and theygo through the years as they're
getting older, or the ones wherethey're cartoons and they show
like how they look like liveaction, like the simpsons or
something.
Mark (42:52):
Yeah, you know all the ai stuff is kind of trippy, man,
you mean, and uh, it's kind oftrippy.
I'm kind of getting a littletired of seeing it because it's
like everywhere now I'm you know.
But I think it's kind of trippyand I'm kind of getting a
little tired of seeing itbecause it's like everywhere now
.
But I think it's kind of likethe way it's going.
Ricky (43:05):
I'm tired of the baby stuff already.
Mig (43:08):
Oh dude, I was over that shit a long time ago.
Ricky (43:10):
Yeah, it's like everyone's doing like Diovan,
like there's only that one thatI show you guys that I like
because it has that littlepissed off baby.
Mark (43:27):
Yeah, because some'm gonna resemble them.
Yeah, that one resembles them,but like everyone else is like
now they're just like I'm overthat.
You guys, there's a lot ofpeople on the job site now, like
in management, who are wearinglike the the plaid uh necklace
or they're wearing the ray-banglasses and that's how they
document conversations andcreate meeting minutes and all
that stuff do that they don'teven got to tell you because, uh
, legally they're allowed to dothat if it's in a public, you
know atmosphere, and then puttheir phone on speaker so you
(43:50):
know to go on like the whole aiteam.
They're using ai and like chat,gbt, things like that, to just
create all the meaning is andyou know what?
Ricky (43:58):
I don't know, I think wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're that?
No, no, because you know youcan't record Someone without
them knowing.
Mig (44:06):
But if you're out in public ?
Ricky (44:08):
No, no Like if you're like we're in here and there's
like a conversation going on andyou're gonna, there's some dirt
going on, you can't just recordsomeone you have to make it low
key, yeah but what you'resaying, mark is, if it's in
public, you could just record.
Mark (44:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could record those glasses.
That are all those glassesthey're recorded yeah, yeah,
they're ray-ban ones yeah, but.
Ricky (44:37):
But but being that it's a job site, that's not really a
public space.
Yeah, you say we're in ameeting in your trailer.
Mig (44:46):
That's not, you're, not, you're not gonna let the public
go in there so they got, theyhave to I saw.
Mark (44:52):
I saw this cat using it, like in the job site, so like I
would call them out.
Ricky (44:55):
Yeah, I, I did, I did't call him out.
Mark (44:57):
I did.
I called him out today.
I was like, hey, are yourecording?
He's like no, I'm not recordingright now.
I said do you let us know whenyou're recording?
He's like no, I don't have toif it's in an open public area.
Lano (45:07):
Is it a light?
A light doesn't turn on or youdon't see it.
Mark (45:10):
He told me it turns on, but I don't know if it turns on
or not Wait, but even in theback parking lot.
Ricky (45:15):
Yeah, I was going to say, even if you're in the back lot.
Mig (45:18):
that's not a public space, the public's over there, yeah,
but it's.
Mark (45:25):
The public stands in different lines to get away.
Lano (45:27):
They're saying that that guy's wrong.
Ricky (45:28):
No, but the actual land that you're on, the space that
you're on, that's privateproperty Can you be escorted out
of the parking lot if you'reacting up what they say, that
you're trespassing.
Lano (45:41):
So hey, I thought that was a private space, your workers
or other contractors.
Ricky (45:46):
No, it's like management, I don't know, this thing's
getting me heated, buteveryone's starting to do it
though.
Mark (45:50):
Everyone's starting to do it though because now people Now
, like people get on meetingsand things like that.
They have, like note takers,another app.
They have AI otter, and thereason why I bring it up, did
you bring me the whole AI thingin the photos and stuff like
that?
Lano (46:01):
I've used the other for more use it.
Mark (46:03):
People are using it like for everything.
Now.
It's kind of trippy man, youknow um, but it's kind of makes
your work easy.
So what do you do?
Ricky (46:12):
Oh shit Like.
Mark (46:14):
Rick, what if I?
Ricky (46:15):
don't want, I Bullshit.
Would you guys use it?
Would you Like, rick?
What if I don't want thegovernment to have my voice?
I don't want the government tohave my voice, whatever cuts
your time down.
Mark (46:22):
whatever cuts your time down by 30%, and then at the end
it gives you a breakdown ofwhat you did, what you need to
do, how to find it.
So it gives you there.
Would you use it or not?
Ricky (46:33):
So the government doesn't have my voice or my look.
Mig (46:37):
I'll take the extra 30 minutes.
You guys just wait for me ifit's standalone and not
connected to the net or thecloud or anything like that.
Mark (46:46):
Yeah, yeah but if it's connected to the internet in any
way, shape or form.
No, like it's new stuff coming.
Right, guys, it's gonna be theway you know, hey yeah, so so
yeah what happened?
Mig (47:00):
with that guy what?
Ricky (47:01):
happened with that guy mark, that you told him when he
told you that he doesn't have totell you no, I said okay, I
didn't really say anything, Imean I really care too much.
Mark (47:10):
But he said no, um, he's not how to take his run.
A public area which we're inthe open, like back lot area,
and I and people are in public.
Ricky (47:18):
It was a meeting that you were having.
Mark (47:20):
So I think, yeah, we're doing a punchless walk.
So you know, a punchless walkis that the job's done and he
comes through and creates a listof items that need to get fixed
and such.
You know the things that wehave to get done.
Right, right, instead of himcreating a list on pad and paper
or typing it in a computer,he's just talking it and then
what he does is takes it back tohis office, downloads the
(47:41):
information from his glasses,his Ray-Bans, and it just plugs
out a whole list off of thatwith photos.
Lano (47:49):
That's kind of smart, though.
I mean it's efficient it is.
Mark (47:53):
It's efficient.
But I don't know if I washating on him because I thought
it was very smart or I didn'tlike the fact that he was like
recording and really didn't sayanything about it.
Lano (48:00):
Because he's doing it the way you're supposed to be doing
it, because it makes you thinktwice about what you say yeah,
yeah, he's doing it for work andlike saving him, like bringing
out a pad or whatever he'srecording.
Ricky (48:10):
Yeah, and that's that he's recording.
Mark (48:17):
What if you get a sticker on your hard hat that says
notify me for recording.
Boom, that's what I wasthinking.
Oh, there you go.
I do not consent to beingrecorded without being notified.
Bam, or anything you say on thepodcast can and will be used.
Lano (48:34):
I guess you're in the court of law.
Mig (48:36):
I mean, they would have to like blur you out.
I plead the fifth.
Lano (48:39):
Like I watch a lot of those theme park like videos,
like updates on the construction, Like I see your site and stuff
, but some people like blur out,like the background people I
didn't, some people don't.
I don't know what the rules aremaybe youngsters?
Mig (48:59):
hey, what about?
That girl getting stabbed onthat train man.
Hey, dude, I didn't hear whathappened.
Ricky (49:02):

Mig (49:40):
So she goes and she sits down, and this is what I mean.
What I've been.
I've been just like finishedtalking to my dad, cause I took
my dad to the casino on Saturdayfor his birthday and on the
drive back we were talking aboutthis.
How it pisses me off when I seepeople out in the street
walking or just being wherever,and their faces are always
(50:04):
buried in their phones, dude,and they're not paying attention
to anything that's going onaround them.
They have their faces in theirphones, they have these huge
headphones on blasting who knowswhat, so they're not looking at
anything, they're not aware oftheir surroundings and you can't
hear anything.
And then they wonder why.
(50:24):
Shit happens.
But this Poor girl.
She got on the train and shesat down.
The guy was sitting down andthe seat in front Was empty, so
she sat down.
The guy you know was the guywas sitting down and the seat in
front was empty.
So she, she sat down and, youknow, like all of us you know,
just started scrolling on herphone and this dude, for no
(50:46):
reason whatsoever, just got up,reached around and it looked
like he started punching her inthe in the face I didn't see
video, it just shows the.
Yeah, it stops it.
It stops it.
Well, you know, because Ifollow you got to go deeper.
I follow David Harris Jr and heposted the whole video, but he
put a warning On Instagram.
On Instagram, I'm going tocheck that out.
(51:10):
Yeah, so you know.
Ricky (51:12):
Well, you see him in the video where he puts out his
pocket knife.
Mig (51:17):
It didn't even show that dude, it's like you see it where
he goes in his pocket comes out, and then he flips it open.
I didn't see that because hemust have just like cut to where
the dude got up.
Because it looks like he justcame around her and just started
like punching her.
Yeah, you know, and she evenreacted.
Ricky (51:36):
You know like she put her .
Mig (51:36):
Her hands up like this, like, oh, my Like, why is this
guy hitting me?
And she just like this.
And then you just see the poorgirl Just like, she just like.
Slumps over dude and just fallson the floor.
Lano (51:49):
I was like dude I'm like.
So she died.
Mig (51:52):
Yeah, cause of dude yeah.
Lano (51:55):
Slashed her throat.
Mig (51:57):
So she bled out like in seconds.
You know, you can see it rightthere you can see her life lever
.
Right there, Sad dude it wassad dude and the worst thing
about it is that this guy shouldbe rotting in jail.
Ricky (52:13):
He's a convicted felon of I don't know how many damn
convictions, but these idiots,you know that are in charge he's
a convicted felon Of I don'tknow how many Damn convictions,
but these idiots.
Mig (52:20):
That are in charge, they post no bail and they say that
the guy's mentally ill so hecan't stay in jail, and on a
promise that he's going to showup To his next trial 14 already.
Ricky (52:38):
I'm like so is he mentally capable or mentally ill
.
I think it was 14 feloniesSomething like that dude.
It's a ridiculous amount.
Mig (52:46):
He had a huge rap sheet.
Yeah, and this guy's still onthe street.
And then they want to say that,you know, because he's mentally
ill, you know.
That's why they don't put himin jail.
But yet he made a promise toappear in court for the last
thing that he committed.
Ricky (53:05):
You guys ever think about like she got on the train and
she just sat down, like that onedecision cost her life, yeah.
You guys ever think of how manydecisions you've made in your
life that had you avoid death,like it could be, like you ran a
little late so you didn't run.
(53:25):
The red light about that shitall the time like how many times
in our lifetime have we avoideddeath with just the little
decisions that we?
Mig (53:32):
made.
That thought crosses my mindall the time whenever?
Well, that whenever whenever Iarrive somewhere early or I get
there late for whatever reason,you know, I'm like you know what
it happened for a reason.
Ricky (53:43):
Yeah.
Mig (53:44):
It's like cause what if you know and I've come up sometimes
where I've come up to like anaccident that just happened and
I do it If I hadn't gottendelayed at that one lighter, if
this one dude hadn't cut me offand I got pissed and got stuck
at that that light, that wouldhave been me, yeah.
Ricky (54:01):
That's what I was thinking with this poor girl.
Like man, why didn't you justgo sit in the back or or go to
the front?
Mig (54:09):
Somewhere where no one could come up from behind you.
Ideally, that's what you wantand that's why, like whenever I
go to Restaurants or anywhere Tosit down, I'm always trying to
find a seat where I can see thedoor, see who's coming in and
make sure that there's no onethat can come up behind me.
I'm always trying to do that.
(54:31):
My ex she would always tell mewhy are you always looking
around?
Mark (54:36):
I'm like I'm like you too I look for exits.
Mig (54:41):
With everything that's going on.
And you're still asking me whyI look around the way I do.
Mark (54:45):
Right, you know what I trip out on how come nobody did
anything yeah.
Mig (54:55):
I don't even know she made us scream or anything.
Ricky (54:56):
She didn't there.
Yeah, no one, I don't even know.
She made a scream, or anything.
Huh, she didn't scream so noone, even I zoomed in yeah, her
face on the floor her face.
Mig (55:05):
It was a look of shock yeah like she was being attacked,
because I guarantee I guaranteeyou she's not even the lady.
Ricky (55:11):
There's a lady across from her tour.
There was a lady there, so Idon't even know how she didn't
yell.
Lano (55:17):
But it happened so fast Because I'm telling you.
Mig (55:19):
It just looked, because I looked at the video over and
over and I tried to look closelyand there wasn't like a huge
thing of blood Anywhere ornothing.
Ricky (55:28):
It wasn't to the drip of the blood on the knife.
Yeah, it wasn't.
Mig (55:32):
It wasn't like in the movies, you know where.
It sprays all over the place orwhatever you know it's like it
must have just like came down,stayed all on her clothes and
everything, and then not untilshe slumped over and fell in
between the seat and the littlepartition.
Lano (55:47):
Yeah, Sad dude.
Mig (55:49):
Sad, you know, but I mean that's where we're at right now,
that all these judges, allthese politicians, and
everything, would rather protectthe criminals and give them
more rights than upstandingcitizens.
Ricky (56:08):
You know, you just you just, we just gotta be aware
yeah.
Mig (56:14):
I mean, bottom line is you gotta keep your awareness up.
You just gotta keep yourawareness up, you can up, you
can't let your guard down.

control.
