Episode 139 - Phone Fails, Coffee Fixes, And Road Trips

The port is broken, the insurer says no, and curbside pickup swears your order is ready—until it isn’t. We kick off with real-life tech friction and the absurd dance of policies, stock systems, and “missing items” that somehow still get charged, then pivot to the pure joy of Dutch Bros: the 911 jolt, Golden Eagle comfort, and how a well-run drive-thru can become a weekly ritual. Along the way, we trade local intel on low-wait spots, talk neighborhood shifts and home projects, and laugh at the AI bear that once stood in when a camera quit on us.

From screens to streams, we get hooked on HBO’s The Pit, a tight, hour-by-hour ER thriller that nails the tension between front-line care and upstairs metrics. Then Miggy files a throwback that hits: Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F rediscovering the original formula without pretending nobody aged. The action’s grounded, the old crew’s back, and the father-daughter thread actually lands. It’s a comfort movie that earns the comfort.

Road time brings the best stories. Laughlin’s Davis Dam delivers glassy river views, a sudden one-spin casino win, and food notes from prime rib to oyster shots to the diner classic Peggy Sue’s. The most memorable moment happens at 70 mph: a throttle fails on the 210, tools get bought when the doors open, and an on-the-fly spacer fix saves the day. It’s a reminder that the right friend, the right kit, and a little stubbornness will carry you farther than you think.

If you enjoy hanging out with us—part tech therapy, part caffeine map, part road diary—tap follow, share this with a friend who needs a laugh, and drop a review with your favorite Dutch Bros order or roadside food stop. And if you can spare a little, check our page for G Dog’s GoFundMe and help a founding drifter get back on his feet. Keep on drifting, yo.

Welcome, Cast Intros, Tech Glitches

Mig 0:11

Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo Podcast. It's just Mig. It's Lano. RK67. The bear.

Speaker 0:23

That's the stupid bear that brought that Lano was using when your camera went to the book.

Mig 0:28

Our brilliant producer if uh not not the last episode, but the episode before it. Yeah. We had some technical difficulties with the that thing, that thing would have worked if the in-studio.

Speaker 0:40

That thing would have worked, Lono, if when it popped up. And Diggie's talking?

Lano 0:44

If he would have teached or didn't when he talked, that would have been funny. Maybe I'll get better and I'll figure out how to do that.

Phone Insurance Rage And USB Port Drama

Mig 0:52

But um you need to figure out how to do an AI bear and attach the voice. Since my since my video cut out on that episode, Lono just put a picture of a little bearer. Yeah.

Lano 1:06

Every time you talk, it's a time I talked, he just had it pop up.

Mig 1:09

You're the technical guy, man. You're the one that's all in there. Crap.

Lano 1:12

Well, that's why I gotta figure out any time to learn it, and then I'll be ready.

Mig 1:16

I went I went to the Verizon store to Well, instead of wasting money on expensive records, why don't you buy programs there? Make some decent AI. Yeah, I went to the DM Verizon. Cause I have insurance on my phone. Right. Now I can't plug in the Oh right.

Lano 1:34

Your connector will be broken.

Mig 1:35

The cable. I can't connect the cable, charger cable.

Lano 1:37

Right.

Mig 1:38

Doesn't doesn't hold or anything. So I want to see if they will fix it. And the guy's like, yeah, he goes, you just call it, you make this claim, you have insurance on it. I go, but it's like uh already like a it's a Galaxy S like 21. I was gonna see she just upgraded. He doesn't want a new phone, he told me. That's what I'm getting. I don't want a new phone because all that all the new phones have that AI crap, and I don't want that shit. And he's all like, Well, you know, you could, you know, you could disable it when you're setting up your phone or whatever. I'm like, yeah, I don't want any of that bullshit. And I go, I'm already used to my phone, and but I'm struggling with the damn storage. It's like I can't, you know, I now I can't unload my five or unload my pictures or videos because a stupid port doesn't work. So I can connect the cable to the computer. So it's like I don't know if I can do it, you know. I don't know if I can do it wireless, why wirelessly because you still have an old phone? Well, it's not that old. But you know, when they they get the new phone and they're doing it, they're transferring the internet. That's all that's what I was gonna say. You could probably transfer it to an old phone, and then once you transfer it to the old phone, I mean you don't need it connected with a sim card or nothing. They said I could trade this phone in and they'll give me six hundred bucks for it or eight hundred bucks something like that. But like I don't want to give them my phone. I like that phone. But then I was thinking about going to a phone fix place, see if they could fix the port. I think they could. Yeah. I mean, they got them, man. I'm talking from the time the times when I try to fix my phone, I think that is a part that's replaceable. Yeah. But stupid Verizon, I don't know why they don't want to fucking replace it or fix it. Because they want to slide you on the phone. I'm paying pain damn. I I s I did the claim and everything, and they don't want to damn. It says like, oh, your your phone doesn't qualify. I go the sh the the description says like lenses or or or ports or port, yeah, ports. That's what I said. It's like how how you gonna tell me that you can't that I don't qualify. Like all this whole time been paying damn insurance for what then? Like it's bullshit. I think I remember going to the same sort of trouble like way back, and they pissed me off. That's why ever since then it says screw your insurance, man. Like, I ain't gonna Yeah, then you don't get insurance, then the damn you crack your screen. Yeah, and it happened. It happened to me. It happened when I bought a a a brand new phone. I had ordered the case on Amazon, it hadn't come in yet. You know, and and I had it. I used it one. I I didn't even I don't even think I had it activated yet. I didn't even want to activate it yet. Yeah. But I was just like looking at it, and I freaking dropped it, screen shattered. Brand new phone. Pissed me the hell off. And then and then that's when that's when I I decided to look into how to change the screen myself and do all that shit myself. What pisses me off is every every damn app, like it almost every week, oh, update, update app, update app, and that's taking my damn storage. It's like fuck your update, man. And this stupid Yahoo mail, it it went into this this menu where it went to this default you want light or dark screen, and then they wanted to merge my other damn email, my other email accounts to so I could see it all in one place. I'm like, no, I don't want that shit. All I want to see is my damn Yahoo mail. That's it. I don't want to, I don't want to add my damn Microsoft Outlook. I don't want to add my damn Gmail. I and then it wasn't letting me get out of there. It kept going back. Like it was forcing me to damn pick a damn other email account and put my password in so it merges it. Like, I wonder if that's a Samsung thing, because I'm I was they stupid. I haven't come across that. Phone systems are I mean, I already know. But I'm I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure we got the same systems though. We're both Android, just the only difference is yours is Samsung and mine's is a Motorola. I don't know, man. It's it's pissing me off. It's pissing me off.

Lano 5:50

Um you go to that Walmart, right? They said there's like a phone repair in the Walmart. It's called the Baldwin? The Fix, yeah, in Baldwin Park. In the plaza? Maybe in the plaza. Maybe, yeah, maybe in the plaza.

Mig 6:00

Not inside the Walmart. Oh, we'll go check it out.

Curbside Pickup Fail And Walmart Refund Mess

Lano 6:03

I was I mean, I was looking right here and they had this um right here, Baldwin Park. It says um the fixed. Oh, that's in the mall, no? Where's the mall in Baldwin Park? It says the inside Walmart Bone. Oh, inside Walmart Bone.

Mig 6:18

Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah, yeah. As soon as you walk into the Walmart, it's rather to the right.

Lano 6:23

Um, try the M. Maybe I'm gonna go check it out. Alright. I mean that's pretty close on um Big Dalton Avenue.

Mig 6:31

I got a bone Dalton! I got a bone to pick with Walmart.

Lano 6:35

What is it? Let's go with it.

Mig 6:40

Manual wanted Manual wanted um to work on his uh expedition, do some transmission work. And he was looking for um they the fluid, the transmission fluid. At Walmart? And he saw Walmart had it on sale like real cheap. Uh-huh. But all the ones that he was looking at coming in from his house were they were all sold out. So I looked up uh the one that wrote here Rosemead, or the one that's on uh Walnut Grove. They considered that the Rosemead store. But um I looked it up and it showed that they had some in stock. That they had a low stock, but they had some. Uh-huh. So right away, you know, I was on the computer, so I just to secure to make sure they don't sell them, I purchased them online. Curbside, no? Yeah, for a curbside pickup. And so I'm starting to get more big on that because they open, they have a whole area in the back in mine. Yeah. And I see a lot of workers coming out bringing stuff out now. It I mean, this is the first time they've ever failed me like this. I mean, I've used it before, and it's cool. Yeah, I like it. Uh-huh. So I put for nine quarts of the of the fluid. Then I got an alert back saying that they didn't have that many after all. That all they had was six. I'm like, that's cool, you know, because it's still a good price. We still had a couple quarts at the shop, and we just have to buy one more quart. So they said, you know, your items will be ready for pickup after two o'clock or whatever, three o'clock. I get the alert that my shit's ready to pick up. So we happen to be in the area in in our work truck, so we pass by. I pull up, I put the you know, on the app, you know, I'm here. Yeah, you know, for pickup. So we're waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, and then finally some little geek comes out, you know, with his little palm pilot, whatever thing. You know, and he's like, he's like, oh, are you Miguel? You know, like, yeah. He goes, Oh, well, unfortunately, uh, we we re we don't have any more of the oil. You know, I'm like, are you serious, dude? It's like, how come you didn't tell me that on that? Why why does it say that it the order's ready? Oh, well, I don't know. Of course you don't know, because you're an idiot. That's all you ordered, right? Yeah, that's all I ordered.

Lano 9:02

They would have said canceled out a lot of stock or something.

Mig 9:05

So he's like, no, well, it shouldn't be a problem. You know, they'll refund you, you know, so they won't charge your card. You know, so whatever's on hold, you know, it'll be returned. I need the fucking oil. Okay, so that that was that day. Poke them in the chest, whatever, you know, we left, you know, manual bought the oil somewhere else. But I kept an eye on that purchase processing with the bank, because I used you know it was a business expense, so I I used the the business account and I kept an eye on that shit. And I'm like, it's still processing, still processing, still processing. Well, today I saw that a charge went through. I'm like, why the hell did the charge go through? I'm like, this dumb little shit told me that he was gonna put and and even that, it says that when you get there on your show your app so they can scan your barcode on the app to complete it or whatever. And to confirm it's you.

Lano 10:03

Yeah.

Mig 10:04

He never did that. So I don't I didn't see his name. That that's a bad thing. I didn't pay attention to his name. He could have gone back and read anyhow. So so now, you know, I mean it's not a lot, dude, but that's not the point. Yeah. I mean, the point is like, why do they do that shit? Now you gotta fight to get it. So now I I I went back into my Walmart account, you know. I put, you know, there's a problem. I wanna refund. I said, and then when it asked you for an excuse for the refund, it says like uh return um you know, because of missing items or whatever. So I put that, okay, missing items. And it says it's like there are the items you're returning you or I'm like, it's missing. I'm not returning shit. I never got it.

Speaker 11:00

Hey, asshole.

Mig 11:04

You see, there ain't shit in it. So now so now I gotta fucking go back and deal with some other idiot at the counter. Oh man. So the story is to be continued, people.

Lano 11:19

What when did um what time did you order it?

Mig 11:21

Man, I ordered it uh it was uh Thursday morning, I believe.

Lano 11:26

Well, no, because we were um we tried to do the same thing. Um, we're at the Dutch Brothers in Baldwin Park. And then um my wife wanted to pick up some stuff at Target, and she's like, I'm just gonna fix the order and then we'll just pick it up on the drive back. But but then it said the orders will be ready like in three hours. I was like, in three hours we'll be home already, so we just canceled it. That's what I was wondering if you're gonna do. Yeah, no, I thought we take it, yeah.

Mig 11:44

Because when I ordered it, it might have been 11 o'clock or so.

Lano 11:47

Uh-huh.

Mig 11:48

And it said it would be ready after 3 p.m. Pick up anytime after 3. Hey, real quick, that's it.

Speaker 11:54

Hey, real quick, do you know the story of Dutch Brothers?

Dutch Bros Deep Dive: Drinks, Locations, Rituals

Lano 11:58

Um I saw it on Undercover Boss one time, but um I forgot it why what it was.

Mig 12:02

It was uh some farmers from Oregon that started that. There were farmers and they didn't know I think they were in in in um in danger of losing their farm. So they started just making like making uh or selling coffee. Some shit they didn't even know. And little little things started up. But like they're like brothers? Yeah, the two there were two brothers. Uh-huh. Yeah. So they just it just slowly started taking off. That was crazy.

Lano 12:33

We're always at the one by your house. We always like pass by your house. Yeah. But um, last time we were gonna stop by because um Lori wanted to get that final count. What do you guys get when you guys go to Dutch Brothers? I always get one of the Rebels, which is like their energy drinks, and then uh my F always gets um like an American Eagle. What is that? Um I'm gonna look at the menu right now. It's just a coffee, and I think it has um maybe it has protein, but I'm not sure.

Mig 13:02

It's all about the 911.

Lano 13:03

You know what the shake? What's 911, Meg?

Mig 13:09

911 is uh Golden Eagle is what it is.

Lano 13:13

It's an espresso, caramel, vanilla, brevy, and caramel drizzle. Ice or high. We always we always get the the iced. And then I always get the energy drinks, which is 911, never see it. Six shots of espresso, irish cream, brevi. That that wakes you up?

Mig 13:33

Dude, that's the only thing that wakes me up. That's the only thing that'll keep me up. That's how when we go to Vegas, I always get one of those.

Lano 13:41

And then I get one of these energy drinks.

Mig 13:43

Especially on the drive back. These energy drinks are good. Look at you, man. You you think your heart can handle that fucking six-shot fucking espresso? Not every day. But every road trip, yeah.

Lano 13:59

Oh, and for a road trip you need it. And then I I get the dinosaur egg rebel, which is an energy drink. It's blue raspberry with almond strawberry. I find those things to be too sweet, man. And white chocolate float. Try this one. That's crazy. They're way too sweet. A lot of drinks, man. Oh, yeah. And then the kids, the kids get hot cocoa, and they gotta. I think they they make sodas too. Like soda flavors. See sparkling sodas. I gotta explore that menu. Yeah. They got like a lot of shit, dude. All kinds of like different soda flavors. Just syrups and stuff. And then um smoothies. I haven't tried any of the smoothies. Uh maybe, oh yeah. And I saw shakes, they have milkshakes? Um right there to the right. Oh, yeah. Cotton candy shake. Cotton chocolate shake and a cotton candy shake. Uh, where's the strawberry shake? My uh there's probably more my my baby loves cotton candy, so maybe are those shakes? Yeah, I mean, this is flavors. Oh, look at the cookie. Is there a red banana?

Mig 14:59

Oh jelly donut crazy banana donut or chunks.

unknown 15:03

This guy.

Mig 15:05

You need a fucking jelly donut milkshake. This guy's supposed to be in a damn weight loss chocolate. Oh, they got one, they got one, they got one for points. They got a werewolf. What's the closest to a strawberry shake?

Lano 15:18

Um, they don't got it. Let's try Fecta. Caramel white chocolate, dark chocolate. Oh. Tuxedo white chocolate.

Mig 15:29

What about Snickerdoodle? Is that cinnamon chocolate? Yeah, yeah, girl, yeah, girl.

Lano 15:37

What is that? Chocolate with chocolate, macadamia nut, white chocolate with cinnamon sprinks. Wow.

Mig 15:44

That's what I'm saying. The closest to strawberry you're gonna get is a jelly donut.

Lano 15:47

Where what does it have? Well, oh, there you go.

Mig 15:50

Bubble gum.

Lano 15:51

Salted, jelly donut, salted caramel, raspberry olive.

Mig 15:54

Banana, strawberry vanilla. Oh, there it is. Bubble gum banana strawberry. That's it. That's the one. That one and the trifecta. I'm gonna try. I gotta try those.

Lano 16:03

Oh, now I gotta I always get the rubber, now I gotta try a shake now. And then they got the teas and the lemonades and they got a bunch of stuff. All right.

Mig 16:15

Little side note people. When you go to Dutch Brothers, you're actually supporting my cause because um I work for the I work uh I fix the trucks for the company that delivers to them.

Lano 16:28

So oh you do? Yeah. Which one's that one? Toto?

Mig 16:31

Toto.

Lano 16:32

Oh what is it? Soto Foods.

Mig 16:35

What does it supply like the cups? They dropped a provision? No, it's not provisions. Oh, yeah. But they uh their accounts are iHop, Dutch Brothers, Yoshinoya, Handles Ice Cream.

Lano 16:50

But is it ingredients or or like um, yeah, whatever they use?

Mig 16:54

Whatever, everything, whatever they use.

Lano 16:56

Blended freezes. There's a bunch of them. So you you haven't gone there, Rick, or you don't you don't know if you these protein coffees are good too.

Mig 17:03

You know what I'll just get? I would just get like some whatever caramel thing they have, but well, because you know what? I've never really looked at the menu. Well, look at the menu and remember what you see online because when you get there and you look at their menu board, it's very limited. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because I'm seeing a lot of shit on here that I've never seen.

Rick 17:22

Oh.

Mig 17:23

And if that's like secret menu kind of stuff where you go up in order, you know, I don't know. Oh, okay. That's why when I go for simplicity's sake, I was just like 911. Can I get uh trifecta milkshake? And I'll tell you, there was one time where they had they had like a they had a churro Orchata. They had a churro um like a smoothie or something like that. Freeze. That was really good.

Lano 17:48

Cause they always have like um a drink of the month.

Mig 17:52

I was reading that for a while, like the drink of the month. If something's real sweet, you could probably tell them like what can we do to like take away the sweetness so much.

Lano 18:01

Yeah, add sour or or coffee or whatever. Something unicorn blood right here.

Mig 18:09

Damn, what is that?

Lano 18:11

Almond or geet? I don't know, strawberry white chocolate.

Mig 18:16

These are um but what's funny is that Dutch Brothers, I think the only one that'll be in like LA City properly is gonna be near USC.

Lano 18:27

Well, it sucks too. We went.

Mig 18:29

Yeah. So other other than that, if you're in LA City proper, you're not gonna find one. Yeah, you gotta go to the so surrounding, I guess, suburbs, they they call it. And we were there, like and they're all over the place. We were there in winter break. And Ballin Park has one. Ballin Park has Ballin Park, like kind of feels like that one's actually really good because that one's not a lot of people. Yeah, not a lot of people. Surprised.

Lano 18:55

That's the one we go to, and then um, because Azusa was crowded, and I think they opened up a second one on in Azusa or Azusa Street or whatever.

Mig 19:01

Citrus. Citrus. Citrus.

Lano 19:04

Oh, yeah. Because I saw like another one like pop open. It used to be say coming soon for a while. But um, the one the one by your house is the one because we this is what we do. We go to that in and out on San Bernardino Road. Yeah. The secret one that's always sh when it's busy, maybe four cars in front of you. I I I noticed we get the Dutch brother on the way home.

Mig 19:25

It wasn't until I went fishing, we went fishing to the reservoir. I noticed that they redid the entrance. You saw how you go through the back of the of the cones, right?

Lano 19:34

Yeah, well, I always entered to the back because one time went through the other way, but like they put cones.

Mig 19:38

But no, before they didn't have that space in the back. So you it was it was off of San Bernardino Road. Oh, they're getting backed up. Oh, they didn't have that little like back area? You had to enter right now right next to the gas station. Oh. So everything was would be backing up on the street. So now they, I guess they probably bought the property behind the gas station and they made that the entrance and some parking, I guess.

Lano 20:03

Oh you get into the yeah, I would I wouldn't park right there because you'll be backed up, like you get stuck with the line. Yeah. But it rarely where it goes back there, even when it's back in that back parking lot, it's still like not even crowded, it's still like moving fast. Yeah. Because you know that one in Alhambra? Uh-huh. That one was shut down for a year because um they remodeled it. Well, they bought the two eys and then they made like more driveway and parking lot.

Mig 20:24

They demolished that two eys, yeah, and they just made more space for their parking lot and the driveway, the line, the line for the driving.

Lano 20:31

Yeah, it's still going around the block. Uh it's still still crazy. Like, we drove by it and we're like, this is still like crazy. So we we'd rather like drive the extra 15-20 minutes to the San Martino and where we know we're gonna get and not be busy, and then and then get your Dutch brothers, and then get the Dutch brothers on the way home. But it's good because like if you're on your way from your mother-in-law's, yeah, we get it like that, and then um and and I don't know, I don't know Baldwin Park, but like I like a lot of places we go to, we we see them, they have them there. Like, I mean, all the the amenities that we have here, they have them there, like all the same. King Taco, Attaccore, they're all there. They got yeah, they're all there. Less was like, oh, this is like we we might have to move out here. How prices are still um they're they're a lot more when you bought it, huh? In that area. When I bought? Yeah, Ballon Park, like the area has gone up, no? Oh yeah, way more way, way all the houses? Yeah, I don't think I don't think we'll find a deal like the I know way up now.

Mig 21:31

Oh, you got a ton of equity in your house, huh? Yeah, yeah. So how long how long have you been there? Um since eleven. So fifteen. Fifteen years. I mean you say it, but then you think back on like everything that you've done and everything, it's like, yeah, you know what? Fuck.

Lano 21:57

I mean he did a lot of work. Yeah. But then you've been No, we've been seeing the the progress. We saw you got like some rocking chairs outside now, right?

Mig 22:05

I just walk in one rocking chair.

Lano 22:06

Well, yeah, because that we're pandemic lawyers like, oh, there's a rocking chair now.

Mig 22:11

I was like, all right. There's there's so much. I mean, hopefully I can start doing stuff around the house.

Lano 22:20

Well, get a rebel drink and then you'll have the energy to do it. Or the 911, six shots.

Mig 22:26

Speaking of um it's Irish cream deuce, so it's pretty good.

Lano 22:30

911, um, Mickey was telling me about some show, the The Pit. Have you heard of it?

Mig 22:35

The Pit. I got man. They made me watch one episode.

Lano 22:39

Who who recommended it to you?

Mig 22:41

It was my friend Jay. Uh-huh.

Lano 22:43

Um 911?

Mig 22:44

I'm it's medical, I mean. Oh, the pit. It's on the HBO. Uh-huh. And 15 minutes in, dude, I was hooked. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, yeah, I'm I'm binging this shit.

Lano 22:55

I think I won some awards, right? Because I I think I saw that guy Noel Wiley was winning something.

Mig 23:00

There's uh this chick, uh Taylor Dearden, her name's uh Dr. Melissa or Mel.

Speaker 23:06

Uh-huh.

Mig 23:06

She's supposed to be like um, her character is supposed to be kind of autistic. So she's like kind of quirky. Uh-huh. But but it's funny the way like the way she acts and stuff. Yeah. Alright. And HBO, huh? HBO. Good show, dude. But if you get grossed out by like medical procedures and seeing all that shit, then I don't recommend it because it is very graphic with all the foundation. Well, tell them about um how you say it's a mix between Yeah, well, I mean, though the way the show is laid out, I mean it's it's pretty much it's a medical show, so I would say it's a mix of ER, which is a show I never watched, but I'm assuming it's like all emergency room trauma center kind of deal. Yeah. But the way they they laid out the show, it's on like 24. Where what they're doing is hour by hour of the day. So the one the first season was like they're doing um the season is a shift. So they do hour one, so that's when the shift begins, like at 7 a.m.

Lano 24:14

The first uh first show is the first hour.

Mig 24:17

The same uh director, or no? People that made 24? If they're doing it like that? I don't know. Probably is, I bet you. But because I guess there's so much story, like so much happens in one day. Yeah. You know, it's like it's I guess they decided it's better to just do it in shift. Do one day, but do a bunch of episodes.

Show Recs: The Pit And Landman

Lano 24:39

So the first season is one 15-hour shift, so it's 15 shows. Each episode's like an hour of the hour 9 a.m. From 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and then the second.

Mig 24:49

So that's why I say it's like 24, because 24 was the same thing. You know, they showed it in and then everything going on in that one hour.

Lano 24:56

So you binged it?

Mig 24:57

I binged it, dude.

Lano 24:58

So you did the shift with them? Yeah. That one day.

Mig 25:02

I watched uh because that I hung out with my friend. I hung out with her um on Saturday night, and we watched four episodes, and I'm like, well, I'm watching the rest of this shit tomorrow. Yeah. There was no foot bar or nothing, so yeah, dude, all day I just I just watched the pit.

Lano 25:23

It seems interesting. I I hadn't careed about it. I didn't know I was like, oh, another medical show, but then the way he explained it to me about the different hours of the each episode, it's pretty interesting.

Mig 25:31

I mean, it's good because they they also, you know, they tackle they tackle all the bullshit that happens, you know. It's like when you're sitting around waiting forever in an emergency room, yeah, you know, and then like you have the doctors dealing with the the administrative assholes upstairs, and all they care about is profit and you know, good ratings and shit, you know, so all they want to do is make money, you know, where they're cutting their budgets to the bone and not having like enough help, but yet they're they're saying, you know, it's like you can't have people out there complaining about how long the waits are. Yeah, yeah. It's like, but the doctors are like, we need more help. Oh, there's not enough in the budget. It's like, well, fucking deal with your bad ratings then. Yeah, you know? And then since it's a trauma center, it's like, you know, trauma centers are different than from just a regular emergency room. Yeah, they take all the biggest is gonna get like the big accident accidents and everything. So you know, not to give too much away from that first season, but a big event, kind of catastrophe does happen where it really like intensifies everything.

Lano 26:42

Put strain on the hospital or whatever, the resources.

Mig 26:45

It it's a trip, dude. I mean, the way they I mean it it's crazy. It it's pretty crazy. Like the stresses that they it shows that they get put through and everything. And I mean, I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube where I guess there's like medical people that work in trauma centers and everything. Not bad. Alright, another show to recommendate.

Lano 27:14

I'm gonna try to watch. I just um Mickey told me that the HBO wasn't working well. Or I I was having issues with it, but he told me how to fix it, so we're able to sign in. But I'm gonna try to watch it because I was looking for dusters the other day, but I couldn't get into my HBO account. But yeah, I might check out the pit. Another show uh me and Mickey caught up, or we've we're caught up and finished, was um Landman season three or two, season two also. Season two. But um, we're not gonna talk about it because you still have to finish it, right? Yeah. Are you on season one still, or are you on season two?

Miggy’s Movie Review: Axel F Delivers

Mig 27:42

Yeah, I'm almost done with one. Alright, yeah. I got a movie recommendation. I saw I saw a movie too. Uh yeah, a review recommendation. Oh, whatever, both. All right, well, I saw my I saw a movie and I don't think I'm gonna recommend it.

Lano 27:59

All right, well, let's do Mickey. Miggy first, because um, it's been a while since we've done this before. It's time for Miggy's movie review.

Mig 28:23

Beverly Hills cop Axel F. Oh, Beverly Cap Axle F the latest Beverly Hills movie. I didn't even know they made one. They made one last year. I think we made one last year. So we all know the original Beverly Hills cop was the shit. Two was okay, kind of questionable.

Lano 28:45

2024, so we're in 2026, that was a two year old.

Mig 28:48

Three was Yeah, three was garbage. They they should have just like not even bothered with three.

Lano 28:54

But this one, I think kinda 2024, two years old, so we're not gonna be able to do that.

Mig 29:01

They hit the formula of the first one where they went back to that recipe. Okay, you know, because it it's um it was a good storyline. You know, the the action was pretty good. You know, I like how they they throw in he has a daughter and he has to deal with and everything. You know, all the other guys like Tiger and them, he like Tiger's the chief now. You know, and and Billy, you know, he's off doing his things and everything. And you know Gavin Bacon says he's the captain. Yeah, captain.

Lano 29:40

Oh, uh, Tiger's the chief. Yeah, yeah. Sergeant John Tiger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Mig 29:47

Yeah, so I like the story. You know, I like the action. And even even in uh in Detroit, remember his friend uh Jeffrey? Now he's a chief, or he's a captain over there. Oh so he's having to cover fracks all the time. You know, instead of the uh his old his other old captain. Yeah, yeah. But I thought I thought it was good, dude. I I really liked it, I really enjoyed it.

Lano 30:15

Should we watch one again just to refresh our memory and then go into the new one or no?

Mig 30:19

I mean, you can watch it just because it's a classic. Well, watch it too. Yeah, watch it because it's a classic. I mean, but like what I mean is is like if they didn't go crazy like with the stunts or yeah, it's not like Fast and the Fury where they're going to be. No, because they're they're staying true to the timeline. Yeah, you know, it's like these dudes are all old now. Yeah, they can't be running and gunning like they were in the first one. Yeah, you know, like Eddie Murphy, he was running all over the place and sliding and ducking and jumping. Uh-huh. It's like you say you can even see him. So it's like his movements are really slow, you know. But it it was it was good. I liked it. I just thought they really found the original formula of the first one, you know, and like the start, the added tension that he has with his daughter was pretty good. I gotta, I gotta get off these damn rabbit holes, and I gotta start watching all the old classic action movies. Alright, well, I just looked that up.

Lano 31:27

How old is Eddie Murphy now? 60? Yeah. It says 64. He's looking good for 64, is what I'm saying. Dang. To do this. He's looking good. I know he took a hiatus, but like it did him well because for 64, he's he's he doesn't look too much older than the first one.

Mig 31:44

Yeah, but the weekend, the weekend I watched this since I was on Netflix. I watched a lot of Adam Sandler stuff too.

Lano 31:51

You know what? I saw the new one. You saw the new um the golf one?

Mig 31:55

Yeah, the new Happy Gilmore. Yeah, yeah. I thought it was pretty good. It was good.

Lano 31:59

It was good, and they went a different direction, yeah, which I liked. Yeah.

Mig 32:02

He has uh he has uh some good ones they did with Jennifer Aniston. They're called uh Murder Mystery, two of them, right? And Murder Mystery 2, those are pretty good. Oh, okay. Yeah, the one the one that sucks is uh his Halloween one.

Lano 32:15

Oh, some some guy's name, right? Something Mr. Hubie or something, yeah.

Mig 32:20

Yeah, that one's that was trash. That was garbage.

Lano 32:23

But like reminds me of that that little Nikki one kind of the devil one or whatever when he was like, little Nicky's a classic, but kind of like the same style.

Mig 32:32

That's uh Wade's favorite.

Lano 32:34

Yeah, that's Wade's favorite. But um, no, I I thought it I thought it was pretty good that the because it I I didn't see it right away when it came up, but the Happy Gilmore 2 has like a different story, and I thought it was good.

Mig 32:45

Yeah.

Lano 32:46

Beverly Hills cop Axel F. Axel Foley, Axel F.

Mig 32:51

Yeah.

Lano 32:52

Alright. Netflix.

Mig 32:54

Oh, then they bring back Surge too, dude. Oh, hell yeah, dude. They bring him back. Oh, I'm excited to watch that one. Yeah, dude, all the original, pretty much all the original casts is back. And what you really like about it, because I know what you hate about the first one, is that dude Billy Judge Reinhold. I know you hated his stupid faces that he would make and everything. Well, he doesn't do that in this one. Good. So he won't be annoying you.

Lano 33:26

Yeah. Have you guys seen um just cause it it looks like um Judge um Reinhold's daughter? I think she's an actress, but it it looks just like her. It just looks like him. I can't see it. She's in she's done some movies, but it's it's it's the same face. Well, it's not popping up here, but um what else? What else anything happened? You went to Lofton?

unknown 33:57

Yeah.

Laughlin Weekend: River, Dam, Casinos, Food

Mig 33:57

I went to Lofton this past weekend Vanessa's uh uncle's birthday. He lives out there or you guys just went out? Uh we all just went out there. He was going out. Older. Uh kind of warm. Uh it was warm. It was good. It was good. Little little chilly, but and that was at night. And um it was supposed to be like a uh fishing thing. Oh but it was just like an up and down weekend. Um her uncle had mentioned it like a while ago. Is that the Colorado River? So the main So Vanessa thought it was gonna be like this big old fishing, fishing trip, and you know, he knew where to go fish and everything. But then we got there, he's all like he's all like, oh, I didn't bring anything. He was like, he was just gonna go party. Just I told her Well you didn't bring no rapper. Yeah, which the word thing is like this big old thing, but I think he just like it's like just an idea when he said it. Oh like idea, but like we we made it more than what it was, and you know, we were just like, oh, you know, kind of you're the only ones that showed up with all the gear. Yeah, we yeah. But um, we ended up finding right there at Davis Dam. We were on the upper part of it, and then we went, drove down to the lower part of it. Uh-huh. I was trying to find the spot where where uh Barney and all his family goes when they take the jet skis, and we ended up on the bottom part of the dam, and that's where we saw a couple of dudes fishing. And then you know Vanessa would threw out her line there. But then once it got a little bit later in the afternoon, then more people started walking down there with their fishing stuff. Uh huh. So I guess that's the water, that's the water spot. Because there are some nice spots there on that Davis Dam. I saw a video of this guy. Oh, it's right, it's right there, huh? Like up the up the river. Yeah, it's right around, right up right up around. And then all the casinos right there. Um, I was seeing a video. This guy, damn, right, right in that spot. He cut like a damn uh a 30 a 30-pound fucking uh carp, I think. Wow. This thing was huge when he pulled it out.

Lano 36:08

So um you catch and throw in, or are you you eat it, you take it home and cut in front of it? Well, I don't know.

Mig 36:14

Carp is not good to eat. Oh no, I don't know. I have no idea. That dude caught it and then he released it back in there. Okay. If he caught maybe a trout or a bass, yeah, uh-huh. That shit's crazy, man. We stopped by, so we went with Vanessa's uh brother and his and his wife, and his wife, Vanessa's brother's wife, has an aunt that lives there. They have a house right off the river, a little bit further up. Uh-huh. And they have a pontoon and jet skis or whatever.

Lano 36:40

Oh, look at right here, like jet skis and some guys fishing. But Davis Camp Park.

Mig 36:44

Uh-huh. Um, there where where those houses are, the water is like really low. And you know, the the pontoon and all that, they're not even floating in the water. Oh. So I was like kind of wondering, like, well, hey, you know, when does the damn water come through here? Like, how do they get it up? Because they have to release the dam, right? The dam, yeah. Yeah. And that's where Ryan was saying. They released the water, I guess, at a certain time of the year. They let it, they let the water go and it all fills up the river. And then that's when they they use their stuff. They can drive out with all their stuff.

Lano 37:19

Well, and some of these people you can see like the water is like pretty up high in the back. And that water is beautiful, man.

Mig 37:24

That water looks a little damn clear. Released. So clear. That that whole river is beautiful, man. When you walk around that Davis Dam, there's like route, there's a route where you can bike ride or walk. You can walk up there, like up. You can drive up there, or you go around, and then you drive down to the bottom. But if you're up there, there's a road that you can take that just connects all the way down below. Oh, I so you can ride, you can ride or or walk right now. I don't know if they open it in the in the summer. They opened that that that road. But yeah, you can just walk down that that whole big road that that drives down. But man, that that whole river is is that beautiful, man. That water. You you got in you swam or you got in like a little boat or no man, it's cold. It's cold. Boat's freezing. Uh-huh. Like in the summer when it's damn hot. Even in the summer, the water's really cold. Yeah, but in the summer when it's damn hot out there. Oh, yeah. No, I know. Oh, it feels good. Yeah. There's some nice damn water holes that you could just you want to dive in there. As it is, just looking at it right now, you wanted to dive in. Yeah, cuz it's it's it's beautiful, man. I've been I've been out there when um and used to people were house sitting, like a house right on the river. And we would just like literally, we just walk down with like our folding chairs and just set them right there on the shore in the water, and just going and just sit in the water. Yeah.

Lano 38:57

Was it crowded like this? Like a bunch of people in tents or no? No. No, that's closed.

Mig 39:01

It's all closed. It's winter. Oh, gotcha. No one's out there. There was um like a couple dudes out there when they're with their with their canoes. You know.

Lano 39:15

You've um have you done paddleboarding? I've tried it, yeah. Would you like buy one or no? Nah. Take or kayaking or anything? Kayaking, yeah.

Mig 39:26

You'd would you get one? A kayak? That's what I mean, a kayak. Yeah, the kayaks are cool. I've I've been in kayaks, but paddle boarding to stand up, it's it's hard, man. To keep your balance.

Lano 39:39

Um every time I see one, I was like, oh, we should just get one. But then like, I mean, we never go out. It's hard.

Mig 39:44

It's hard. But yeah, it's it's that's a beautiful spot, man. Vanessa got lucky, she was the only one that won on the I well, I didn't get one at the in the casino. And then um her brother's wife, there's a machine that she likes playing, the little devil machine. Uh huh. She she lost, I don't know, like six, eighty bucks. And then um Vanessa wanted to just play like 10 bucks. I go. She said there was an alien machine that she wanted to jump on because she was gonna play. But she all had was a hundred dollar bill. I go, Oh bad, just put the hundred dollar bill in, play ten bucks, and then once they're gone, you just pull it.

Rick 40:26

Yeah.

Mig 40:27

She's like, but what if I can? I go, you will. I go, you're not a gambler. Like, just go do it. And then we're walking back, and I went, I'll go, I'll meet you at the machine, and I went to the restroom, and I told her, and I told her, just make sure you hit max bet. Right. Hit max bet. So, and then they went. All three of them went, and then I went to the restroom. Then when I came out, she was like doing a bonus. She was like touching the screen, and all this shit was going on, and she kept like getting these coins dropping in, and whatever, whatever. And she just started getting all these damn coins dropping into place and you know, adding to her pot or whatever it was, right? Her bonus. And then all of a sudden, like it, you know, it is, right? And then and then I uh they thought they thought all right, cash out because she put in the hundred bucks and she ended up winning 133 bucks. Oh, that's pretty cool. Nice. And yet, and she just did one spin. Spin. Oh, that's the way to do it, dude. She sat down and then walked out. She sat down, hit the button, Max, it hit a bonus. She started doing all that shit. She started getting all these bonus points or coins or whatever, whatever, whatever. And then it ended up, she started with 100, and then there was 233 showing in the machine. Yeah. And uh, she's like, Where'd I cash out? Where'd I cash out? Like, cash out. Boom. She won 133 bucks. Double more, a little bit more double. What casino was it? Um the riverside. You know what's the bad thing about that though? Oh. Is that from now on, whenever she goes in, she plays the machine. She doesn't hit, she's gonna be chasing that hike. Nah, she just she hates she hates Gavin. She's not gonna, she's not gonna uh Yeah, but she liked that feeling of winning on the first spin. So Yeah, she won't get hooked. She'll she'll be like, come on, it happened last time.

Lano 42:25

Now, how was um inside the casino? Was it different from Vegas? Because you went to Vegas a few weeks before.

Mig 42:30

It's the same, just an old casino. It's like it was one of the old casinos there. But like the minimums, were they still low or they're like, you know what? I didn't even go check the tables to see how the minimums were. They should be, they should have been lower. Yeah, I don't I don't know. It's only in Vegas where it it's actually only on the strip where everything's overpriced. I said I was gonna go jump on a table, the craps table, but it wasn't snowing like this, was it? I didn't know it snowed down there.

Lano 42:54

Wow, that looks nice with the snow. I don't think that snows. Well, this picture looks like it. Might be one time of year where it's like.

Mig 43:02

I don't think that's it. No, I don't think that's loftlin.

Lano 43:06

It's it says loft in Nevada. Things are doing lawful Nevada. I mean it might be every five years or something, but it looks pretty cool.

Mig 43:15

Yeah, so we tried um when this didn't like the ready this place where we have prime rib. I like the prime rib because the first time that I've ever tried prime rib, I got a cut that was full of fat, like nothing but fat. This one was good. A lot of people like that shit though, dude. Yeah. I don't I don't know.

Lano 43:38

Mig 46:58

But I want to go check out those damn wings. I want to see if it really is all you can eat wings. Especially for 20 bucks. Yeah. Not because it was a dude's birthday. Oh, we went to Loveland. I finally ate it. We ate at uh well that wasn't the first time. The first time was I went with me and Mark rode bikes two weeks ago. We went on a Sunday and we rode to Peggy Seuss. Oh, that was another thing. A bike ride with with with with with uh with Mark. So that day was something else, man, because I was riding to his to his house in the morning. The plan was to get to his house, leave from his house, and go to um his old church up in the motor desert bicycle. Yeah, no, no, motorcycle in the high desert. From there after go go to a Sunday service and then go to Peggy Seuss.

Rick 48:01

Yeah.

Mig 48:02

While I'm going down the 210 freeway, jamming, jamming, jamming, and my throttle goes out. Oh I got my my my grip is just spinning like and it's like it I feel it barely getting like engaging, and then it spins. I had to pull off on the freeway and I'm like yours is cable. I thought yours wasn't cable. I thought it was uh No, it's it's it's electric. Electric, right? Okay. I don't know what the hell was going on. Like I kept pushing it in and it would barely grip. So I thought something like where it engages, it it broke or something. I don't know. I'm like, dude. So it was bare I kept having to push it in, hold it, twist it, and hold it. And it wasn't it wasn't getting. I was gonna try to make it to his house and then take it apart. But I I got I was like, dude, I got I called him up and I told him, hey, I I'm gonna try to make it back home. I go, I can't. I'm not gonna make it. He's like, all right, he goes, I'll meet you at the house. I'm like, alright. So I'm on the carpool lane and I'm and I'm trying to like I can't, you know, haul last, pick up speed, so I really gotta get speed and make it off the freeway. So I'm going, I get in a nice little pocket because it's still in the early in the morning, and I make it off the freeway. Exit the freeway, and then you know, I turn around and I jump back on the freeway going back home. I'm thinking I can make it, I'm just going the slow lane, and then like I'm going slow lane and then a shoulder slow lane, but man, my shoulders start hurting, man, because I'm like holding it like holding it in, and it's not getting right. So then like I exit the freeway and then I um I tell them I go, I go, I look up uh Harbor Freight, and I went to the nearest Harbor Freight, and I went right there in uh uh Montclair, I think. Yeah, Montclair. So the Harbor Freight there. And it was like 8:30. And I got there, they didn't open till nine. So then I, you know, right when I was about to text Mark, he called me. He told me, Hey, where are you at? I'm like, I'm right here at the Harbor Freight in Montclair. He's like, All right, send me your location. So I go, I'm like, all right. He comes over and then I tell him, dude, I wasn't gonna be able to make it, dude. My arm, my shoulders are killing me because I can't hold the throttle. And you know, I go, I'm just gonna wait till Harbor Freight opens up and that little kit that I yeah that I showed you guys that I bought. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was just waiting because I was gonna buy that kit so I could take apart. Oh, another one? My yeah, so I could take apart my my whole controller and everything. I mean, it'd be good to keep it in your saddlebags. I mean shit, do something. So, but then you know, once he got there, and then um the the stupid little two little two kit that comes with the bike, I was like, they didn't have anything to take it apart. So they finally opened, went in, and I got the bigger one that has the bigger set.

Lano 50:55

The newer, like the newer one.

Mig 50:56

The newer one that has the little the sockets and all that, uh huh, but doesn't have that badass wrench in it. So I bought that one and I bought um the small one too. And then I go, the small one, if I need something, small one or whatever, and you know, I'll just give it to Mark. Because I have two of them already. I have one in my two my toolbox for work and then one uh at home. So I'll see what I needed, and then everything I needed to take it apart was in the small one. And and so I took it apart, and then I had gave that one to Mark. So took it apart, whatever, and and it's you know the the throttle, the cylinder is wire connected and everything. Okay, and then I took it all apart, right? And then I was like, what the fuck's going on? Like nothing's broken, whatever. And I kept seeing that it it slipped out, it slipped out of the handlebar because uh the throttle where it spins. So it was on the floor, or what do you mean the slip bar? No, no, no. You I took I took the grip off, I took the controller part, and then the throttle cylinder goes in the handlebar. There's a slot on the handlebar where the throttle cylinder like slips in, right? It holds, and then just the tip turns, right? The throttle cylinder has a wire that goes connected to a harness that goes to the bike, whatever it's electrical. So, like, all right, so then I put it back, I put the grip back, I'm like, all right, you know, that seems you know good. Put it all fucking back together, but the handle like seems really loose. Like it the throttle means it felt too didn't feel like the way before.

Lano 52:29

Yeah, like no um resistance, like the yeah, it was real real easy, you know.

Mig 52:34

Yeah, and then fucking so Mark goes like drive it around the parking lot, see if you're good. I'm like, drive it around, whatever, whatever. He's like, Yeah, it seems good, and but it's really loose, you know. But it it was working. He's like, All right, I tell him, hey, well, let's go to Peggy Suze. I'm like, all right, you down? I'm like, yeah, I'm down, let's go. So we started driving, you start driving, he goes, like, hey, I gotta gas up. I'm like, all right, right as soon as we leave Harbor Freight, we're going up the road, the damn throttle again. You know, I lose my throttle. I'm like, fuck. He's like, all right, he goes, follow me. We went back down and then we turned another street, and then he turned into uh the hat parking lot. Again, we got off, and then um, you know, we took it apart again, and then um this time the stupid cylinder like it got stuck on the grip, and I was pulling it, and then the cylinder, the cylinder, uh throttle, the harness that's connected, it disconnects from inside the damn fucking handlebar. Uh-huh.

Lano 53:37

Oh, inside like that.

Mig 53:38

Yeah, because it all gets fed through the handlebar tube. Uh-huh. And the cylinder would got like got yanked with the grip, and then it it fucking disconnected from the harness. I go, I bet you if I try to take this damn harness, I would have a bitch of a time. But this stupid thing pops right off. Yeah. So the harness is inside the tube. So now I don't have nothing to damn pull it so I can reconnect the damn the cylinder throttle.

unknown 54:06

You can't win!

Mig 54:07

No, I couldn't. So then I tell Mark, I go, dude, you gotta go back to Harbor Freight because we weren't too far. You gotta go back to Harbor Freight and get a little pick set. A little pick so I can get in there and pull the harness out and I can reconnect my shit. And then when he he was like, all right, so he rolled back to Harbor Freight to go get it. And and as it um, as he went, I figured the problem, what the problem was. When I when you slide the throttle in, you put the con the grip back in in the controller, or the whole controller uh panel, you would put it together, and it would um and it would push the grip out, so the grip would push out and then it wouldn't engage. I don't even know how I lasted all this time using my bike like that. Why all of a sudden it's all of a sudden it just doesn't get anymore. So what I had to do, what I figured is I had to do is like to be able to I needed to put a spacer in the grip to hold the throttle against the the handlebar. So when Mark came back, you know, we got the pick, and and I showed him what it was, and then I just ended up putting a like little small battery in the grip, and then I slid it in. That way the the it's like a spacer, like a coin battery or that that kept the little space between the throttle end and the grip end, and then I was able to pull everything out.

Lano 55:33

So it was like a washer missing or something that kept it.

Mig 55:35

No, no, it's just that it's an aftermarket grip, so that's probably not perfect. You put that on? Yeah. So we got it all figured out and like good, and you know, put it back together, and the throttle felt like I'd had it before and it was all good. And then he goes, hey, he goes, what's up? He goes, let's go try, he goes, let's go try those orange chicken fries from that spot. Like we went to go try them, dude. Where's that? Right there in Montclair. Uh-huh. The orange chicken, orange chicken fries right there in Montclair. That guy, uh, who didn't he send them or who sent them? You sent them? I didn't send them. Oh, I guess Mark sent them. I think Mark sent them. Yeah. Orange chicken fries. Got spicy ones. Oh, yeah. It was that dude that uh so LA Eats or some shit. Yeah, we got we got those orange chicken fries. They're pretty good, but they just need to put more chicken in it.

Lano 56:26

Oh, so it's like um like Chinese food, orange chicken mixed with fries?

Orange chicken, French fries? I'm like, yeah. All right. And you know, a little little China, Chinese food spot. People, a lot of people go. And um, so we we we did that, and then we ended up, you know, taking a ride all the way to damn Peggy Seuss. And time, let me tell you, man, that ride was colder than shit. Oh, I was giving Mark shit about he had a heated vest under, and he was talking about he wanted to stop and get his jacket. And I was like, I was giving him shit. A heated vest, like like what power? Like warm up. Yeah, you put a little battery bank in it, and I was giving him shit. And then, man, once we hit the damn road over there, because he was telling me, he's like, dude, he goes up there, it's it's it's it's different. It's like the wind's hitting. I think once you went to the room, he's like, dude, it fucking feels hot. Like we're fucking hot. I'm thinking I'm gonna be able to take my vest off, whatever. Dude, once we got out there, it was colder than shit because we hit Silverwood and then we exit D Street, and we went through the whole back, uh, Route 66, like back road. Oh, we was we took all that. Man, that was a long ride, but it was colder than shit, man. And then I was telling him, like, hey, I'm gonna put my uh my heated gloves on. He's like, no, no, no. He's like, nah, you better not. He goes, You better not, fag. You better leave me. So that yeah, we made it all the way to Peggy Sous. And um Peggy Sous. That's in Yermo. Yes, Yermo. So Peggy Sous was cool. We had the we started off with these deep fried uh pickles. They were pretty, they were good. They were really good. I liked them, and I don't like pickles.
