Episode 140 - Storm Hype, Taxes, And A Honeymoon Lazy River

A wedding pulled together in under four weeks. A church ceremony that felt right. A long table filled with family, steaks, and perfect Old Fashioneds. Then we slipped away to a lazy river honeymoon where the Super Bowl emptied the pools and we took the win: sun, space, and quiet.

Back home, we unpack the game that didn’t deliver and the futures ticket that kept it fun. That opens a door to bigger questions about California taxes, why a Super Bowl bonus can turn into a net loss, and how policy shapes where leagues want to play. From there we crack open the motorcycle world: Harley’s aging base, sticker shock, and cold counters versus Indian’s sharper play and friendlier dealerships. Loyalty is earned, not assumed, and the road is wide open for brands that listen to new riders.

Collecting gets the same clear-eyed treatment. We walk through first off the line runs, the thrill of low-numbered hits, and the gambler’s math behind ripping an Allen & Ginter card. You’ll hear about a Burrow to four, a Julio to five, and why timing a sell can swing hundreds. We lock in a basketball card break for next week and invite you to ride shotgun as we chase a hot rookie and pray for ink. Between segments, we trade halftime show gripes, remember how In Living Color changed the NFL’s approach to concerts, and laugh about old-school Super Bowl commercials when you couldn’t afford to miss the breaks.

Life stays practical and personal. One host wins a stubborn Walmart refund by staying calm. A phone “repair” turns out to be a deep clean of a dusty charging port. In the kitchen, skin-on salmon gets crisped, basted with butter, garlic, and thyme, and plated next to parmesan Brussels sprouts. The Old Fashioneds go down easy—maybe too easy—and Sunday makes us pay. We close with a freeway dog rescue attempt that turned a commute into a convoy, plus our line for your stories and hot takes.

Tap follow, share this with a friend who collects, rides, or cooks, and drop us a review to tell us who should headline the next halftime show. And if you want in on the card break, let us know before we rip.

Lano 1:26

Like so? Three warnings, or he seemed like it was all worried about flash floods.

Mig 1:33

I was saying it it's ridiculous. It's like and they make it seem like it's never rained like this ever in the history of the world, you know? It's like it's because of climate change and you know, it's like we need uh tax everything more so we can fix everything. Because you know, taxing everybody fixes everything.

Lano 1:53

Lano 2:32

So I'm talent and I run the Instagram, so it in my my eyes and my wife's eyes, the the wedding it came out the way we wanted it to come out. Like it was a nice small wedding. We did it like with under under four weeks. Yeah. Under four weeks. Um we haven't heard any anybody say anything bad about it, but um the kids were involved, they're a part of it. Um it was always something like in the back of my head, because me and my wife always talked about it, because um we were we were married during COVID, so we've been married by the court for the past um or four years, and then um we finally we got married by the um by the church. It feels good, but um, it's just nice to get that that last like step like completed and finished. Yeah. And what'd you guys think of the the dinner and stuff?

Mig 3:20

Everything it was awesome, dude. Everything was amazing. It was awesome. Yeah, thank, thank you, and thank you, Laura, for inviting us. Yeah, that was all that was very cool.

Lano 3:29

All the things go to goes to Laura because I'm she she set up everything and and I was I was trying to throw the bone, but I know. But she she picked the restaurant, she picked the the menu items, it was a prefix. You guys get to select the colour.

Mig 3:42

It was it was awesome. Um it was awesome that it was a nice little intimate you know, family gathering and everything was awesome. The ceremony awesome, you know, nice little beautiful chapel that they had in, you know, the little I guess it was a sacramental sacramental room or something like that. Oh, I don't know.

Lano 4:01

I didn't even look at that, but it had like a little private room that we were at with a big um like a big long table, 20 people sat around it. Yeah. Um pretty big um photos. We had music going, but um had some pretty damn good old fashions. Oh old fashions and steaks.

Mig 4:19

That was good, man. It was a good evening, man. Very good evening. Uh happy for you guys. And then um we went to had a blessed, blessed wedding day.

Lano 4:29

Thanks for coming. And then um we went to Although hold on, hold that thought.

Mig 4:33

I gotta say, Lano kind of set us up to look like bums. Oh, yeah, dude. He kept on he kept on playing it down. He's like I know, dude. He's like, oh, you guys don't have to get dressed up. It's like just come home ever, you know. He's making it seem like just come in your in your drifting and royal teacher and Rick's asking him, it's like, well, should I wear a tie or whatever? He's like, Well, I'm the group, I'm the one that's supposed to be. I can't have any questions like it. No, I'm the one getting married. I'm the group, like if I'm gonna show you up, dude. No, no, I just said you why standing next to him, like, all right, well, I guess I was I wasn't even thinking I was gonna be next to you, and so I'm like, all right, well, we'll just be in the back with a nice shirt or whatever.

Lano 5:14

And if if I wasn't in it, I'd just be wearing a like a nice shirt.

Mig 5:17

Like, it's like I did I shut up all super casual and everything, and and all of Laura's uh brothers are in suits and everything. Like, ah, dude.

Lano 5:25

Well, they were each doing like a reading in the in the church, but that was the only reason why they they got a few.

Mig 5:32

I mean, I could have worn a nicer slacks and a button-down shirt instead of a polo.

Lano 5:37

It was a casual event. I mean, we were just I mean however you felt comfortable. I mean, I was I would have dressed casual, but since I was a groom, I dressed up, but that was it. But I I was um I mean you saw me take the tie off for the dinner and everything. I was casual after. And then and then we went to um we spent um four days in um in Indio. We went to the the Grand

Honeymoon At The Lazy River

Lano 6:00

Hyatt that we like to always spend um time with the Lazy River. Oh no. So we went on Saturdays. Um we went to the pool around 11, and um people started leaving because um Super Bowl started like around three o'clock. Yeah. So two hours before the the the Super Bowl, the pools, the pool and the lazy river was just like empty to ourselves. Oh that's awesome. Everybody went to um to go watch the Super Bowl. To watch the game. And we had planned we're gonna watch it because um, so we were gonna stay there three nights or no, two nights, and then later on we're like, let's stay there like an extra night, because we had the we had to take the time off. Yeah. And then um, like my wife says, Oh, like um, they don't we would have to switch rooms to get that extra night, but they said they have some villas available. And we're like, we're like, screw it, let's just upgrade to the villas. Yeah, it's our it's our honeymoon. So we went to we went to um we had the villas. So we were gonna um the villa had like a patio, it had a grill patio area, like a lounging area, and then uh its own hot tub. And then it had um like a sun bed outside. Dang, and then we had the bedroom, like uh the shower, like a bathtub, like a and then like a TV room, and then some other rooms. So the kids were like enjoying it. So my plan was to go to the pool and then walk back and then watch the Super Bowl from the jacuzzi.

Mig 7:19

Oh, yeah. Nice.

Lano 7:21

But um, it emptied out, so we're just hanging out at the lazy river, and then like five minutes before the game started, my daughter's like, oh, like I'm getting a little cold, let's go back and eat. So we're like, okay, so we went back and then I ended up watching the game. Room service? At the house, and we got room service, and then uh we just saw the game from the Lazy River was more exciting than that game. Oh, yeah. That game was, yeah.

Mig 7:41

Hey, you know, the only reason I was able to watch that game is because I had my money on Seattle. Yeah. That's the only reason I was into it, dude. I had a lot of money on the Patriots because I thought. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Lano 7:54

Did you end up getting you winning that price? Or you had to get points with Seattle, that bet? Mickey.

Mig 8:00

Oh, I won, dude. Oh, you won. Yeah, it was just uh Seattle to win the Super Bowl.

Lano 8:04

How much did it pay out?

Mig 8:05

It paid out uh 400.

Lano 8:09

And that was that Vegas or that the colour.

Mig 8:14

Yeah, when when we went for a wildcard weekend, they were going off at four to one. So I put 100 bucks on them to win the Super Bowl. So if all my other bets fell through, I still had that one ticket. And I still have it right there. So that's nice. Not have any excuse to go back and collect my money. Where was that? Was the the whole honeymoon at the at the grand the grand high at the villas?

Lano 8:43

And then um, you know, on Monday, like I thought we're gonna see people come back outside, but like it seemed like everybody just left right before the Super Bowl. So Monday again, it was like maybe like two people on the lazy river. It was just dead, and the people started showing up on Tuesdays were leaving.

Mig 8:59

That's cool because when when we did the lazy river in the Mandalay Bay, there's too many damn kids in there, man. Yeah, too many people going on there. If you have the lazy river by yourself, then that's cool, man.

Lano 9:10

So we're thinking, I mean, now this is gonna be like our honeymoon weekend Super Bowl. Yeah. This might be uh maybe uh an annual if people like make it empty or leave people, depending on like where the game's at. Because next year it's in LA, right?

Mig 9:25

Yeah, was it indoor pool or outdoor?

Lano 9:27

Well, I don't know. Oh, outdoor, everything was outdoor. And the water wasn't like cold, or have it heated or I had it, just like you know, in that area, because um the highs were like 85. But you're not by

Super Bowl Bets And Payouts

Lano 9:40

that. Once the sun is the sun starts setting, it gets cold. So like it's really cold. So the girls were getting like chilly like around like 4 35, and then we went to the jacuzzi and then you know, hang out in the heated water after like private.

Mig 9:52

There might not be a Super Bowl next year because they're gonna boycott playing the Super Bowl in California. Oh yeah. Well, people are saying that because of the taxes. Yeah, I heard that, yeah. Stupid, dude. Well, I mean, dude. Well, did you hear Sam Darnold's situation?

Lano 10:11

Yeah, he's that's what I heard, yeah. Yeah, he lost, he lost money for the California. He lost money playing in the Super Bowl. Yeah, he lost money playing the Super Bowl. Because he plays a California team twice a year, and then that makes them pay a bigger tax or something.

Mig 10:22

It's I don't know how he gets $170 some dollar, $170,000 bonus for winning the Super Bowl. But all those days that he played in California throughout the year, yeah, and for a Super Bowl, he gets taxed like $250,000.

Lano 10:40

Yeah.

Mig 10:41

It's like, well, I would say the same thing too. It's like, screw that, man. We ain't gonna play there. Yeah. You know, and go straight to the NFL union and and tell them, you know, tell them no. It's like until they fix it. That's so stupid. That's all that's all stupid ass lose some.

Lano 10:55

That's all, yeah, the world of government.

Mig 10:56

You know, it's like when I'm telling you, why do you think these politicians they go in with zero net worth and they come out millionaires, dude? It's not because they did a good job. Tell you that. Yeah, that's it. Because their their their salaries don't reflect that. You know, they're criminals. But um that that's why we pay so much in gas, also. Yeah, it's like we pay almost two dollars more in gas than the rest of the country, and it's all taxes and regulation. It was crazy when when when I went to Laughlin.

Lano 11:32

Yeah, so you know, yeah, and that's what it is here, but we pay all these taxes on top of it.

Mig 11:38

You know, but you know, wake up, people, and you know, see what's going on, man, and get these people out. Yeah. That's why it's so damn expensive to live here. That's why all the Harley Davidson dealerships are closing down. Are are they? Is that true? Yeah, they're all they're all a lot of them closed down, and but it's because of the the Harley Davidson dealerships, they they thought that they were always gonna be the big dog. They kind of they kind of paid themselves because they didn't keep up with the times with the Yeah, they just they were it was that whole mentality, like like you needed to be kind of like a biker, dude. Like all all they're kind of like aging out, right? Because the minimal the minim the minimum Harley rider is like 50 years old. Okay, and they always had this like nose up, nose up in the air attitude, like we're hardy, we're the best, you know, kind of that.

Lano 12:34

In terms of um pricing, there are there bikes that are there for the biggest thing.

Mig 12:39

They're they're expensive. So, and then then a lot of people complain about going to dealerships and getting shitty service, and then just like they go into the stores and they don't even get acknowledged. They want to buy they're there to bike, but no one, you know, depending on how you look, if you don't look the part, then they're gonna ask with you, you know. So that whole attitude that my shits don't stink, they kind of like played themselves in. And just it's like I think the top, the top selling bike right now um is uh I think it's it goes Kawasaki now. Kawasaki, Honda, and then I think it's Harley in third place. But they already went down a lot.

Rick 13:23

So they're already they're already done.

Mig 13:24

Indian's making his move because Indian got a new C CEO and he he worked with Harley for so many years, like 20 plus years, I think. So and then and then Indian Morrisau got got bought got bought

California Taxes And NFL Gripes

Mig 13:40

um from Polaris. Now it's gonna be like its own main company because it was a subdivision of Polaris, because Polaris is all off-road, yeah, side by side.

Lano 13:54

I thought Polaris was part of like Warwick.

Mig 13:56

No, Polaris, so Polaris before had the Victory Victory motorcycle brand, uh-huh, which a lot of people were liking it, but then they also bought the Indian name, and then they end up killing off Victory, and then they were they were investing in Indian, but it was always a subdivision. So now this company that bought them, now they can just focus making that like Indian their number one priority. It's not like a back, you know. Polaris still owns a little bit of portion of Indian, but now it's the it's already like it's gonna be its own thing, and they're gonna be making their move because their sales are are up and and Harley's sales were down by a lot as last quarter. So and a lot of Harley dealerships are closing down.

Lano 14:43

I thought um Polaris had like an electric car too.

Mig 14:47

Um that's called something else. Are you thinking like a slingshot? That weird that weird um three wheel thing.

Lano 14:57

Oh Polestar, that's what I was thinking. I think Polestar used to be owned by it used to be Volvo. How do they do these electric cars?

Mig 15:06

Oh getting real real quick, getting back to the wedding. Oh yeah, uh I was talking to your dad, Lano, to uh big Mike, OG Mike, and uh he had asked me about this uh box of cards that he bought for Lono. This one right here. That if we had opened it yet to see what was in there. And I told him no, it was just there. I thought I don't know what we were gonna do with it or what.

Lano 15:29

Uh-huh.

Mig 15:30

So I'll take it home, Lono.

Lano 15:32

Yeah.

Mig 15:33

I'll set up my phone and I'll record it on my phone and I'll post it on the Instagram.

Lano 15:38

Yeah, yeah, do that. Do that.

Mig 15:40

That way since since we weren't ready right now to do anything. Well, why don't we do it next week? Wanna do it next week? Yeah, then we do it on live. You set it up here. Like we did the other one. Okay. We can do it next week then.

Lano 15:54

Is there a chance for bigger things? I mean What do you mean? You think um more hits on the Instagram or more on the live Um I think either or we could we could try doing live again, yeah.

Mig 16:10

You do because you could do live on the Instagram, right? I'll just gonna record it on my phone and then post it on the Instagram. Yeah. We'll figure it out. But do it but do the same thing, but do the same thing, but we'll do it live right here. Okay. I mean not live, but we'll record it on the show. Or would you want me to get more cards? Then we open up other cards and then come back. Chip in again? Chip in the cards. Because I went I went I went to the card shop last week and uh I didn't buy boxes because what I what I've been doing is I buy from this guy online called uh Brock's uh Big Boom Box and he has different tiers of uh levels of packs that he sells. Yeah. So each box he'll put like um he'll tell you what packs he's putting in there, like from what brands and everything, or what sets. But it'll be like maybe up to like seven, six or seven packs. Oh, okay. You know, but depending on the tier level, it'll be like either the lower end stuff, or if you pick like the top tier, he gets all the top end product and puts it in there. And I like I've been like I've been liking that better because I've been pulling the top tier ones are 260 each plus tax and everything. And um he does that for football, he does it for soccer, he does it for basketball, um, Star Wars, I think Pokemon. So he he does a bunch of different all kinds of different shit. You know, so if you wanted to do a soccer one, I could get a soccer box. What do you think, Lano? You know? I don't mind, something and we could we could do it. But what's hot? We could do it on the bottom. Yeah, what's hot right now? Pokemon? Right now, honestly, dude. Um nothing. No, I'm I mean basketball, cause there's this rookie called Cooper Flag. I think he plays for uh Dallas.

Lano 18:16

Yeah.

Mig 18:17

Yeah, dude. If you pull something of his shit's insane.

Lano 18:21

Let's try it.

Mig 18:21

I mean, let's go with the basketball. Baseball baseball it's hard to tell which prospects are the ones you want. Uh-huh. You know, but it's always guaranteed a good card if you pull something. What about you know, or Aaron Judge or what about um like upcoming uh draft players from the NFL? Nothing's out yet? No, not yet.

Lano 18:47

Well they haven't been drafted yet. Nothing.

Mig 18:50

No, but the the hot the hot rookies right now in the NFL. The hot rookies were um I think Caleb Williams for the run he had. So he's he's pretty hot. I mean it's kind of cooled off since the season ended. So it's kind of cooled off a little bit.

Harley Decline And Indian’s Push

Mig 19:10

That was his second season.

Lano 19:13

Okay, so this year was gentry, the running back. Raiders. Genty.

Mig 19:20

I mean, it it's tough for him though, because I mean he didn't do well, but yeah. No, not only that, dude, but Raiders, for some reason Drake May. Raider guy, Drake May is the guy that got super hot. You know, and I'm telling you, I I had pulled a card of his two years ago. It was an autograph card from a tops uh set. And when the day that I pulled it, during his rookie year, since he was playing, but uh the team wasn't doing well, this was before Mike Vraibro took over. So the team didn't do well. That card was worth maybe like 60, 70 bucks. Well, with this Super Bowl run that he made, that shit shot up to 700. Yeah. You know, so but I mean, everybody, manual, everybody keeps on telling me to sell it. But I'm kind of like, I don't know, dude. I think this kid Drake May is a real deal. But how much more can he go up? I if you're gonna be able to do that. What do you see with these other guys though? If he wins Super Bowls, dude, I mean, that thing can go into the thousands.

Lano 20:24

I don't know I feel like both teams in the Super Bowl are like a fluke this year, though. Like are the Patriots that good? I mean, another defense.

Mig 20:30

The Patriots had no business being there. The Texans should have beat him. That's what everybody says, yeah. But I mean, but regardless, CJ Straw just had to take care of the ball. Yeah, well, he's another one that's a that's a good um that's a good pull. He's he's but him, I got a lot of good rookie cards of his too. No, but him you should have seen because he's he's not advancing. He's not yeah. But um no, I mean, really, if you pull anything low numbered, like like say for instance, the last time I bought from this dude, there's this set called uh Phoenix for football.

Rick 21:06

Uh-huh.

Mig 21:07

And um he sold what they call uh first off the line. So when the product is made, the very first print run, they label them first off the line. And they had exclusives in there. They're not gonna come out in the rest of the sense that come out. So in this particular pack that I got, I pulled a Joe Burrow number to four, which is called a Dreamweaver. It's a beautiful card, dude, but number to four, so right there, that's like a three hundred dollar card right there. And if he ever goes on a run, like on a Super Bowl run or anything, then that card's gonna be insane, dude. What two years ago? Well yeah, but he keeps on getting hurt. You know, if he can stay healthy and even like sniffs another Super Bowl, dude, then you know. He he's another one. And then um in baseball, 'cause I bought a a baseball box of of them also.

Rick 22:07

Uh-huh.

Mig 22:07

I pulled um from Seattle, the Mariners. They got a good player called Julio Rodriguez. And I pulled a card of his number to five. Another one. That's an that's another like four or five hundred dollar card. You know, but baseball has a potential for these players to get hot and that shit'll go insane and get up there in price, you know. So So often do they do the first line, first off the line for every product. Every product. But it's um like for the year. For that year, yeah. For that year, right? Yeah. It's first off the line that year, and then that's it until next year. Yeah.

Lano 22:48

So what what's uh coming out right now, like baseball because baseball season starts in April? Like what's coming out? What's coming out new?

Mig 22:55

Soccer starts like next month also, but the new the new stuff for baseball coming out right now, the newest of baseball, I think is uh tops uh series one. And that's just like the very low end of the low end. Right, yeah. You know, but they put they do tend to kind of put good stuff in there. You know, but I mean there there's other sets also, you know. Um like um I'm telling you, I went to the card shop and I bought I bought just random packs from baseball and football. And I even bought some from uh basketball. I didn't pull anything around the basketball. They were expensive packs too. But from the baseball, there's this one set called uh Allen and Ginter, which is like a throwback set to cards like from the um the 30s and 40s. And uh what's cool about this set is that they sell cards that they call rip cards. So what they do is they make them a little bit thicker and they hide a mini card inside that card. So you have to decide if you want to destroy the card to see what's in there or keep it intact. You know, and I had pulled an Albert Poolholes numbered to like 199. And I was right there and I was looking at it, I'm looking at it like, dude, it's like because first natural instinct is I want to rip it. I want to tear this thing open and see what's in there. You know, cause it could be a one-on-one, you know, it could be a stained glass, it could be an autograph, or it could just be a rookie that you know already turned out to be nothing. You know, cause then they got celebrity autographs also. You know, and um so I decided I'm like, you know what, I'm I'm just gonna rip it. So I ripped it open and there was some some dude and I don't know what what he was. He's a celebrity, I guess. I don't know if he's like uh reality star or influencer. I I have no idea who he is. But it was an autograph of his.

Lano 24:57

Just celebrities or what what set is this?

Mig 24:58

No, no, no. It's uh called

Card Collecting Strategy And Hits

Mig 25:00

Allen and Ginter.

unknown 25:01

Uh-huh.

Mig 25:02

But they have they have like celebrities thrown in there. Like random celebrities. Uh-huh. And so I looked up the cause what I was gonna do first is I was gonna look up the value of the card unripped and see if I sell it better unripped or take a chance to see what's in there.

Rick 25:20

Uh-huh.

Mig 25:21

Because if uh if the card was only worth 20, 30 bucks, then that's an easy decision. It's like, but if it's up over 50 or close to 100, then I'm kind of like, uh, you know. And I should have done that because that card was selling it for about 90 bucks. So I'm like, and that autograph wasn't really that valuable. So yeah.

Lano 25:47

But um says um legends, learn a little bit of everything.

Mig 25:51

Yeah. It's a cool set. I mean, back uh in the early 2000s when these boxes were affordable, I actually it was fun to build the sets. So you just keep on ripping, buying boxes and ripping packs, and you actually try to complete a set. It's like I got a couple complete sets sitting in my collection. You know, so like this one, uh the Nolan Ryan one, that's what they call a wood. A wood mini 101. So it's actually made out of a little piece of wood. Oh, that'd be dope. Yeah. But um, that's what I'm saying. You know, I could go back there and I could go back to the car shop and just grab a few packs like that, or I could order one of those boxes. Alright, so next week. Nice swing. How long does it take to get in? People, uh, it goes pretty quick. So we're gonna do basketball or what? Whatever you guys want.

Lano 27:00

Nano. Yeah, basketball, um I'm more familiar with it than the baseball players. Alright. Even though the I saw the the all-star weekend, the basketball was at the Clippers arena. Uh-huh. And I saw the dunk contest and the three I didn't know anybody in those contests. There was even some Lakers in there. I didn't even know who they were. Alright. But um, yeah, yeah. So basketball? Yeah.

Mig 27:23

Alright. Alright, Drifters. So next week we're gonna have a card break. Card break. Like it or not. It might be live, it might not be, but we split the 260, 270, whatever. We'll do another another break of cards and hopefully come out with something good. Not uh like last time where it was a dud. We didn't get nothing, nothing, nothing good. We didn't get nothing good. Yeah, I wonder if it was like Al Capone's ball. Nothing wine bottle.

Lano 27:55

Um since we're just talking Super Bowl still, um what'd you guys think of? I mean, I saw it from the hot tubs. I wasn't really what'd you guys think of that halftime show? It was Kaka.

Mig 28:06

I didn't watch it.

Lano 28:07

You know it was Kaka.

Mig 28:08

Uh music was low or something. I don't know what we went to um Vanessa's uh her brother and her and his wife's friend's house while they're in Fontana, so that's what they had on. But then after watching that bullshit, like it sucked. Yeah, I didn't watch it. It was not not because of the political reasons or whatever, even though I'm aligned with the political reasons. I didn't watch it because of that. I just didn't watch it because I think this dude effing sucks. His music sucks. But he needs like helping me. Let's just go about this way. Like terrible. I'm pretty sure everyone knows how we line up politically, but this dude's music sucks. It does. It's just there were so many people. I mean, aside from the political thing, whatever, there was people, I don't know, you probably saw him. It's like even uh Latinos were like, like, don't worry, white people. Us Latinos can't understand him either. We don't know what he's saying or whatever. We can't. Because when you start mumbling everything, yeah. I I hate Bumble and slurs everything. It's like you can only make out like maybe one or two words. Yeah, and it's like, what the hell is all just mumble crap, man? But more more than anything, dude, his voice effing annoys the piss out of me, dude. Yeah, I can't stand his voice, man. It just it just sucks. Like, I don't know how you go. I don't know how you go from this badass concert from Kendrick to that piece of shit show. And that whole little walkthrough, whatever, this and that, is like it's like it was kind of it was kind of like a ripoff of Kendrick because he had his whole neighborhood set there. Exactly. That's exactly what I thought. So then he they copied that the same same idea. When I saw afterwards, you know, because on YouTube they're they'll splatter it all over the place. Yeah, you know, you couldn't get away from it on Instagram, you couldn't get away from seeing what the show was, yeah. You know, and just seeing that, I was like, dude, it's like what they're saying they're trying to do it like Kendrick or like uh the Dr. Dre one. You know, it's like I I was pissed back because from watching that badass show last year to this crap, yeah.

Lano 30:27

Whack. I saw some um like images of the audience and like nobody was like into it. Oh nobody I saw an interview, they said that what was wrong was that um he didn't perform to the crowd, he performed to the cameras. Yeah, you couldn't tell what was going on from the audience, you just see like them running through corn stalks or whatever, you couldn't see him like do anything. People in the tree see nothing. You see their heads popping out of the trees, like look like that.

Mig 30:51

That shit I thought was funny, dude.

Lano 30:53

You saw on the camera, you see all that stuff, but um, from the audience you can't see anything. And then um, did you guys I didn't I didn't even catch it until after, but um Highland Park's Via's tacos was in the show?

Mig 31:03

I guess, yeah.

Lano 31:05

So VS Tacos is a a tacos um spot La Estrella, where La Estrella was right there by the pool. So that's the spot. So um he was in the Super Bowl halftime show, like he gave him gave him a taco, and it said right there VS Tacos, and it was all over the city.

Planning Next Week’s Card Break

Mig 31:20

Then that that that couple getting married there is like what the hell is that, dude? It's like I don't know, stupid.

Lano 31:28

Look, all I know. I thought it was even better, but I was disappointed. It was kind of like it's like seemed flat. Like he needs a lot of help with the this this is how much I dislike this fool.

Mig 31:38

I used to listen a lot to on um the radio station, the gueton that 93.9. I just I just like listening to it, dude. Because you know they got good beats and everything, you know, good it's it's just a good vibe. But when every song had this idiot on it, dude, and you can't escape him. Yeah, I'm like, come on, man. It's like who the hell didn't this guy do a collab with? Yeah, I'm like, every song, yeah, every song has this idiot. Bullshit tone of him just singing lazy and yeah, dude. I was like, I can't stand it. Yeah, it's stupid. I don't I don't even know. I don't think Bruno Mars has done a Super Bowl show, right? Yeah, he has?

Lano 32:23

And I'm like, But which one? They're just performance. I mean, they do old school, or just like you know, like a concert, like they're in the middle of the stage.

Mig 32:29

But I mean, if they if if they really were so insistent on having a Latin artist or whatever, get Shakira. You know, people can get down with her. Get Pitbull. You know, you know what that dude rocked it. Oh, yeah, Pitbull, yeah. Pitbull would have rocked it. I mean, you know what's bullshit? Anybody but this game is like a little a little quick a little quick hit from Ricky Martin. You see how much how young that bastard looks?

Lano 32:58

I wasn't sure it was him. I barely recognized it.

Mig 33:00

Nah, dude, that that dude ain't aging for shit. Ricky Martin? He was one of the guests, yeah. And I don't even know why he did it, man. He got that little bullshit five second, whatever, ten-second shit that he did. It's like, but man, that dude, Ricky Martin, he ain't aging one one day, man.

Lano 33:16

I I didn't even know that was Gaga. Oh, yeah, that was Ricky Martin. Gaka? Look at that dude. Damn. Look at that.

Mig 33:22

He's saying like a little And he doesn't look like he has anything done to his face.

Lano 33:26

No, yeah, he it looks natural.

Mig 33:28

He looks like Jay Balvin. Look at him.

Lano 33:33

Yeah, he looks natural.

Mig 33:35

So even even even those dudes, like like Jay Balvin and Mickey Jam. Yeah, all them, dude. They they're good. Oh, you know who denied who denied doing it? I don't know what his reason was. I didn't look it up. But Daddy Yankee, he said he's not gonna perform there. Daddy Yankee's even better than this fool. Yeah, you know, this guy, I don't know, man. He he's like the Puerto Rican Peso Pluma. I really, I really don't see they could have done uh better uh Maluma Baby. Yeah, this this was a whack, whack it. I'm telling you, man, from that badass concert last year to this crap here.

Lano 34:16

Oh, because they said there were some other cameos. I think um Jessica Elbow was in it, like dancing. Oh, yeah, she's right here dancing on the side. Who cares?

Mig 34:24

They they keep on talking about the numbers, how high they are and everything, and it was like the largest science or whatever, but they don't say about the the numbers they dropped off in the middle of the show.

Rick 34:33

Yeah.

Mig 34:34

Like the numbers like pretty pretty much cut in half.

Lano 34:38

Yeah. So who's um I mean I I don't we're they're the wrong crowd, but who's in the running for next year at at the at SoFi Halftime show?

Mig 34:48

I don't know. I don't know.

Lano 34:49

Yeah, I don't

Halftime Show Critique And Cameos

Lano 34:50

know either. You think it goes back to like hip hop? Like or they already did that on someone else.

Mig 34:56

You gotta you gotta wait to see what the next uh anti conservative movement is, and that'll that'll be who's in there.

Lano 35:06

Yeah, whatever. Um, I didn't see any of the commercials because I was in the the pool, but um anything. Commercials, I all suck too.

Mig 35:14

Commercials are all about fucking AI, dude. Yeah, everything was about AI, and that's all it was, dude. There was a couple in there that I did like, but they're forgettable because I can't even remember which ones they were. The majority was just AI shit. Bottom line, dude. Nothing is ever gonna be the way it was. Yeah. It's like when we were when we were younger, when we were already like late teenagers or whatever, that was like the best time, dude. Because that was like the best Super Bowl commercials that came out. Bunny. It was like the best performances. Well, I don't even think performances in halftime because I never really pay attention.

Lano 35:54

No, but you're always waiting for the beer commercials, the Clansdale, the Bud Bowl, or whatever.

Mig 35:58

You do not want to miss the commercials. And now it's like whatever. You know, it's like who cares? Did you guys know? And it came up because how Kid Rock had that that halftime show? Yeah. Yeah. Did you know that you know who started that damn um halftime show? Like concert deal? Like why they started having it? For Super Bowl? Yeah, for Super Bowl. You? I dude, I heard it. I did hear about it. It's it's what Kid Rock did. I can't remember. Oh, he did like he didn't know. Because Kid Rock had his own halftime show. Yeah. Or, you know, he got people to do their own halftime show. You remember? No? No. I can't I can't remember. I I heard it though. In Living Color. In Living Color had Living Color at the time, that's what it was. When Super Bowls were just having their normal halftime show, and Living Color had an alternate like kind of performance halftime back then, uh-huh. And then everybody stopped tuning in. Back then, the halftime performances were just like marching bands, and so it was boring. So nobody watched it. So then Living Color had So they said switch over to a Living Color and we'll put on a show in between the halftime, and then we'll let you know when to get back to the game.

Lano 37:24

Yeah.

Mig 37:24

Oh, so they started the and then and then NFL, the scumbags at the R. I saw that video, yeah. And then that was the first Super Bowl ever. They had that's when they had Michael Jackson do the first Super Bowl um performance.

Lano 37:38

But that was in '92. Yeah. Yeah. So once again, it's messed up, man. They don't care.

Mig 37:43

Our generation, Ken and Ivy Wayne's none of them fucking credited about that. The very next year, the NFL had Michael Jackson do the Super Bowl. He was the first one to do the Super Bowl show, yeah. Well, yeah, I think. But no one ever says anything about that. Like Keenan Ivory Wayne's for that, man. That's bullshit.

Lano 38:03

I'm gonna have to watch that video. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah.

Mig 38:06

I guess it'll be another great black inventor that'll fall by the wayside. Like the like the dude that uh invented peanut butter. Yeah. Or the real guy that invented the telephone. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I did watch that video. Yeah, that was crazy.

Lano 38:27

I was gonna say something about um we were talking about sports. Oh, oh no, beer. We're talking about beer and the I was saying the Bud Light, Bud Bowl. So I was I was passing by the the 210 in Erundale. I haven't been down there in a while. The plants? The um no, the the the brewery. Did it change it? Because now it says like Erendale, like brewery. Blue ribbon? No, no, no. It has like a big sign that says something else, like brew house or brewery. Is it is it? I don't know. Is it still Miller or is it like a new brew house? Or is that a new beer brand? I mean, I'm not sure. They're advertising something in the sign. I saw it and I was like, oh my god. It's not the Miller, I don't think it's the Miller plant no more. It's not the Miller plant? I don't think so. I know they have like the blue paps blue ribbon, but that's not. Shit, I don't even know.

Mig 39:15

I don't know.

Lano 39:16

Well, the the sign said like Erwindale like brew house or something like that. And it's like it with blue and all this stuff. So I was just wondering.

Mig 39:23

Yeah, it's probably already saying, No, I don't know. Gotta rush up on it. I'll have to look for it. And it means that it's down the street.

Rick 39:34

Yeah.

Mig 39:37

Erwindale brew yard. I don't know.

Lano 39:39

No, it's still while they sell that big Miller. Well, that that's old now. That thing's gone. That's what I was I was wondering. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that. Is Erindel Brewery? So I was there. Is that a beer? Is that like a new Prolide a beer garden?

Mig 39:54

You know what?

Lano 39:55

Was that a brand? Or so you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna go check it out, dude. I'm gonna go see it. Formerly Miller, so Miller's left.

Mig 40:03

Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna let you guys know. I'm gonna do some investigative work.

Lano 40:07

Yeah, find out, find out.

Mig 40:09

I'll go over there and see if there's like a beer sample there or something that you can go. Kind of like the San Antonio winery. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Maybe they have something like that. Yeah. A gardener where you can have lunch and have beer and beer.

Lano 40:21

Yeah, because now it now it says something like beer garden. That's how I'll check it out, find out. All right. Um that's my assignment for next week. That's that's

Super Bowl Ads And Nostalgia

Lano 40:30

your homework. And and drink the beer. Tell me if it's any good. Yeah, fuck yeah.

Mig 40:34

Dude, well, Saturday was Valentine's Day. Right. And I um Vanessa and Trevor went to the dentist to go get some dentist work. And then I had to go work. When I got over Saturday? Yeah, and I gotta go work. I went to um I went to Stater Bros and I was gonna I was gonna uh cook her salmon and Brussels sprouts. And so I went uh Stater Bros got everything. You know, came back home and I was out looking at them videos all week. So you know Gordon Ramsey's making the salmon and and then I try to find like an easy side to do, and I found these uh these parmesan crispy Brussels, Brussels sprouts. I was like, all right, that was pretty easy. So I was able to fucking get it. I went to go get two fillets of of salmon. Skin on. Skin on and and yeah, dude, surprisingly, I damn came all good. Yeah, yeah. Manessa said that they were they were bombed. The way she says I need to get a little bit more, but it's just that I didn't want to do it too much. Yeah. And then by next time I know I'll leave it there. But even the way I seasoned it, the way I cooked it, it was cooked perfect. I just need it again. It was on the on the pen. Oh cast iron, right? Um, no, it was not cast iron. Oh no, it was a regular pen. Oh, okay. Yeah, so but I saw someone do it recently.

Lano 42:03

You put it on the cast iron and then you put it in the pizza oven. And then you forget the side. Well, that's when you're baking it's like each other.

Mig 42:09

When you're baking it like that. But when you're baking it. No, the way the way he did it, you you gotta get the the skin nice and crispy. Yeah. So you get your pen like really hot. You know, with the oil. You get it nice and hot, and then you just lay the skin side down and just leave it there and let it go. Oh, to where it's almost you see you start kind of seeing the color come through on the bottom side. Yeah. And that's when you know the the skin is already like starting to get crisp. Yeah. Because it starts uh heating up the filet, and it starts turning from that red, whatever it is, to kind of like a pink and almost white. Yeah. So then from there you flip it maybe a few seconds. Six minutes, really? I did it for six minutes. Cooked it for a second. So you lower the heat? Or yeah, lower the heat. Lower the heat, then you flip it so the other side gets a little bit. Yeah. But it's still nice and flaky and dirty. I I did um I seasoned it just uh the salt, salt, pepper, and um spice. Kind of like a blackening, like a blackened salmon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So and then I cooked it in there, and then I cooked the s the skin side, and then once um I threw some I threw a couple pieces of garlic, some thyme, and then um butter. And then that I was just spacing it like that. And damn, I was surprised, man, how good that thing came out. The the Brussels sprouts. I was gonna call you on how to do yours, but I was like, nah, he's probably got some complicated recipe or something. No, not really. I I think it's just uh you cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Uh huh. Yeah, I didn't uh put oil or butter in the pan, saute them. Uh um, maybe bacon. I think I put bacon in there. Yeah, I think I really Render down bacon first and then go in the bacon fat. Well this this recipe all all I had to do is um I c I cut them in half and put put like a few teas tablespoons of um of oil and it took it took

Brewery Mystery In Irwindale

Mig 44:20

um salt and pepper. Salt and pepper show it on the camera that was my first attempt at a blackened salmon. That was years ago though, man. Oh that lemon rice that was my cooking heyday.

I was like all right I'm gonna I'm gonna wait right here on the shoulder once I see that I'm gonna cross and try to get him or whatever. But then I was waiting and I was waiting and I was waiting and nothing like like I didn't see nothing like coming across and like and it was already a while like cars were already coming there was no traffic I was like oh I think I think those cars probably someone was able to get them because he nothing happened and and then I even um I I drove up I went exit the freeway and I came back and I didn't see no commotion or nothing and nothing so I was like oh maybe you know someone was able to get him and then um so once I got home once I got home I noticed I didn't have my flashlight my damn arc filled flashlight and I was like fuck I go I fucking dropped I couldn't find anywhere and went checking my van checking everywhere and I was like damn and then I did the same thing the next day like when I lost my my my Dixon hat.
