Welcome to Botch's Off -Road. Today's a wrap,
a very tired wrap. Gavin, have you had a long
week like everyone else? Yeah, and no. Probably
not long like yours, but been busy with the better
weather. We've been out getting stuff, you know,
cleaned up doing a little more. Yeah, I haven't
even touched my truck because my parts aren't
here and there's no point in touching something
that's broke. I've been walking around my truck
this week like a blind man trying to find his
way, just touching things like, huh, huh, cool,
huh. Clean it out a little bit. Um, a lot of
the times I just re go over things. Um, I went
through all the stuff I had in the back, um,
clean some of that out, organized, grabbed all
the, um, dishes and plateware that I had inside
to rewash everything so it's ready for the next
adventure Took some things inside that I'm not
gonna be using this year probably so Like we
have a adjustable Lantern It's just it's like
a fake lantern with batteries, but you can adjust
the brightness from like an incandescent all
the way to like an LED And it's been pretty nice,
but it's just it's kind of big it kind of takes
up some space and We have plenty of other lights,
so I'm gonna yeah put that I'm gonna retire that
give it to the kid Yeah, I've got I've got something
similar that we've used every camping trip since
2023 that I'm gonna be retiring this year because
We got a really good deal on a big pack of lights
from, uh, Nebo, so. Yeah. Yeah, are you referring
to your... homemade, uh, area lighting? Uh, no.
No. That'll probably make a comeback. First I
gotta get better lights for it. Yeah. Yeah, I
might have one or two. I should look. They might
be Ambers, I don't remember. But, I'll look.
Well, I'm gonna... I'm not... I don't know. That
was a cheap idea that I tried. I think I've got
$30 total into that whole setup. And I mean,
it works. I got no... no frets about how well
it works. It just kinda worked. Yeah, that's
what I'm looking for. Yeah. What else did I do?
I cleaned off my kitchen table, my fold -down
table. Cleaned that up a little bit. cleaned
out the back clean the The slides for the fridge
Cleaned out my slides there. I had a bunch of
like WD -40 all kind of gunked up on that with
some sand and stuff like that so I Went through
that and cleaned all that kind of crap out recoded
it work the slide a little bit Talked with Jimmy
from snail armor about doing some armor on the
inside. And yeah, we just I was trying to get
some basic measurements, but it's kind of hard
because it's not like a straight rectangle. So.
We got something kind of basic ran around, and
it probably won't be. What I go for right off
the bat right now, because it'd be a big investment,
but right. I think once I get the dimensions
and stuff. worked out and I get exactly what
I want first which I think is a low profile platform
in the future I may upgrade to something like
that but for now I think I'm just gonna do the
old plywood 2x4s or 1x4s and then cover it with
linoleum like he suggested and yeah we'll see
from there because at this point like I'm still
testing it out. Like I've even thought this year.
I'm like, what if I don't, what if I don't do
all this and gut it and redo everything? But
I just feel like I have to like just lie. Just
because I feel like I should set up worked. Yeah,
it worked, but like so did the year before. I
just feel like every year there's room for improvement
and I don't think it would, you know, I don't
think it would cost a lot materials and stuff.
I just. I always want to make things better and
more efficient the next year, so... Every trip
there's room for improvement. That's true. That's
true. I make improvements every trip. A good
way to do that is to look at the things that
you used that trip, and the things that you didn't
use. If you do five trips, and you haven't used
those things, within reason. Like, fire extinguisher,
obviously you're still gonna wanna keep, but...
Basic socket set. Uh, at least covers all the
bolts on your truck. Don't skimp on that. That's
important. And then like a wrench roll with at
least all the wrenches you need for your truck.
Yeah. Yeah. Like I have... Mini sledge you should
always have. Yeah. I have, I have a axe for that
and a hammer. Then... How heavy is your axe?
Big enough to beat things with, but... Not big
enough to be a sledge. Just it's a heavier longer
handle item. Oh, so it's too big. Gotcha You're
gonna want you're gonna want Adam any sledge,
dude What if you end up having to do like I don't
know ball joints on the side of a trail? Hmm
Hit it when you're stuck Hard to hit it with
your purse when you're in the middle of the woods.
I have a purse always Yeah, you can have a purse
When you say hit it with your purse, it means
you're spending money on it, and it's hard to
spend money on it when you're in the middle of
the woods. Uh, hit it with your purse, I thought,
was just like... Yeah, that's a term for, like,
when people are being sissies, and you just have
to hit it harder. That's what that means. I was
always told it was for spending money. How we
used to grace our world. I thought that was just
throw your wallet at it. But hit it with your
purse meant, like... This is like when someone
brings, like, a ball peen hammer to do a sledgehammer's
job. You're like, yeah, go ahead, buddy, hit
it with your purse. Huh. Look at that world.
You found two new definitions. I'm curious what
the real definition is. I don't know that there
is a real one. I think it's just a saying that
everybody says. It just means you're not hitting
it hard enough. There you go. I'm right. Just
kidding. I'm wrong. No, I mean, I have a heavier
hammer. I just don't have a mini sledge. Maybe
I'll get one, but... They're like ten bucks.
Grab one of mine, I got like ten of them. Yeah,
I probably have one in here. I just... It's like
the most used tool in our toolbox. That's the
most unused in mine. That's because you don't
do any work. It's because I don't have to. I
think I take the have to away and say you just
don't. No, I mean, when I have to, I do, but
I don't ever require a mini -sledge when I do
it. yet Like I said, that's cuz you don't do
nothing was the last time you did a lift kit
The was it now two years when I put the lift
kit on You put it on or did you pay someone to
put it on? I put it on. Oh, I didn't know that
yeah, Dingleberry. Hey, hey, I I did have them
put the the springs on Because I didn't have
a spring compressor now dude you just you just
loaned that from O 'Reilly's or it costs more
to do that than it did to just have them put
the springs on how much did it cost to have them
put the springs on i can't remember but i remember
it's free to loan it well you have to it's not
free it is literally free you have to have you
have to pay like a certain amount and then you
have to and then you get it all back yeah i didn't
have that it it's literally free It's like a
couple hundred dollars, I didn't have that. But
no, it's like sixty five dollars. Because we
tried doing that with. Sienna's, I didn't have
enough for Sienna to do it to get the spring
compressor for a Sienna. But I had enough to.
Take it the next week, I think, to have them
adjust the clips and everything. It's 40, it's
50 dollars to borrow the one from O 'Reilly's.
Oh, I didn't even go to O 'Reilly's. I didn't
even look. Maybe that's why. And then and then
you get your $50 back. Yeah, I just didn't. I
probably just didn't have it at the time. I just
know when I had them in just the springs, I talked
to them a little bit about what it should be.
Can I ask for their expertise on it, too, because
every forum that I went to says something different
and every. Everything that is said in the directions
was different than every forum. So I was like,
okay, so what am I doing? And then So I took
it They put them on and Took them back installed
them on the truck Huge rake. I'm sure you remember
that I had a huge rake on the truck Sorry, my
wife keeps texting me because she didn't get
herself ready before we started recording just
mute yourself and uh but yeah and then uh after
the rake i took it back to them so they could
adjust the clips and they adjusted the clips
and i was i've been fine since but i've done
breaks before before me and you worked on them
but i've done breaks and stuff before i've done
wheel bearings on my subaru i did the whole engine
pole on the subaru with my buddy aaron the the
new water palm pulleys the resurfaced the heads
the hillbilly way the what happens that gaskets
bolts so, the whole nine yards and then and I
cleaned the oil pan up since we had the whole
engine out, threw a new gasket in it, cleaned
the rust off the bottom, and that rust is what
was keeping the oil in. I cleaned that rust out,
and then all of a sudden a pinhole was there.
So I started leaking oil the second I put it
back in, and I'm like, motherfucker. And you
can't change the oil pan out of that without
lifting the engine up a little bit. Great. I
feel like most vehicles are like that now. Like,
the Powerstroke was like that, I know the Forerunners
are like that, the Tacoma's like that, I'm sure
the FJ's like that. I dunno, I had a few other
older vehicles that it was just kinda drop it
and go, but I hadn't really had a lot of experience
with the newer ones, so that's probably why.
Regardless, I drained all the oil out of it,
let it sit for a couple days, do some brake cleaner
on it, cleaned it up, and then slathered some
JD Weld. SEAN Yeah. So, uh, back when I had the
CJ -7, well actually this was before I had the
CJ -7, back when Dad bought the CJ -7, it was
acting funny, so he took it to the mechanic and
they could see the combustion happening in the
cylinder through the block. So the mechanic put
some JB weld over the crack and then we drove
it for another like 20 years before I rolled
it Yeah, dude, that's sick, I wish I I wish I
was living in or near the farm when my grandpa
sold his I Want to say 96 7 3 Pyrostreum Yeah,
there's a dark blue Had the front back it had
the back seats in it. I can't remember what the
length is, but it was an extra long crew cab
or extended cab Extended cab you had to like
hop through the back seats together or the front
seats get under so but it had an extra long box
and It was amazing not extra long just long.
Well, it's actually Today's day. No eight foot
is a standard A standard bed. An eight -foot
bed is a standard bed. Anything smaller than
that? I don't care about by today's standard.
That is a standard bed. It was for the entire
length of truck production. Until recently. And
even recently, a standard bed is still an eight
-foot bed, just most people get short beds. They're
losers and don't understand all the wonderfulness
of a real bed. I think there's some give and
takes there, but yeah. I don't know, what are
the... What are the gives for a short bed? The
gives, as in the pros? Yeah. Nine times out of
ten, you don't need a long bed, so... Nine times
out of ten, you definitely need a long bed, so
why would you go with a short bed? Most consumers
don't. Most consumers that buy trucks nowadays
aren't hauling much. Are they gonna haul lumber?
Because if they're hauling lumber, they definitely
should have a long bed. I mean, you think about
most of the guys that have pickup trucks nowadays.
I'd say, like, trucks. Yeah, that's probably
what everybody else is wondering, too. It's because
it's a truck. Like, I mean, 70 % of the D bags
I see drive around with 20 inch wheels or not
20 inch wheels, like 28 inch wheels and rubber
bands aren't using it to go pick up, you know,
tons of pellets and and a whole lumber mill.
And like if you're home, if you're hauling a
gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer, long beds better.
Yeah. If. You're trying to carry stuff in the
bed. One second. I think, I think for me like,
it's like the city people, there's like a city
people, suburban people, that don't need a long
bed because at the most they're carrying like,
I don't know, five bags of fertilizer or... They
want to be able to put a recliner back there
or, you know, something like that, a dirt bike,
something. How do they hold their couch? Holding
a couch with a short bed sucks. I said recliner.
I didn't mean - No, I'm just saying, I was talking
about a couch. Oh, yeah, they just use their
trailer, which most of those people have. You
know, trailers aren't expensive either. I'd almost
like... I'd almost rather have a trailer than
a long bed. But anyway, but what's wait, what's
the cons of a long bed? Oh, I just think they're
harder to park harder to maneuver What how in
a parking lot parking space dude, there's so
easy It's just nobody allows for that kind of
length as much anymore in the city The only con
that I can think of is when you're sorry if you
hear dogs walking around the background. I know
dogs suck Um, the only con I can think of is
specifically parking garages, but even then most
of the short beds I've been in kinda suck in
a parking garage. Well, fuck. We don't even have
long beds and we still struggle in parking garages,
so. I only do because I only have half an inch
of space between the top of my rack and the top
of the... yeah. I'm still hitting McDonald's
signs with that antenna that was up there. When
I had that crew cab long bed power stroke...
I was the same height as I am now, and like,
twice the length. Yeah, I had the crew cab extended
85, 1 ton, 454s, dually. And while it was a ton
of fun, it was really impractical for everything
I used it for. At that time I wasn't using it
for hauling anything, it was just to kind of
drive around, and... literally like go park at
school or go down to town and like I had trouble
parallel parking it downtown obviously because
most parallel parking spaces don't allow for
that kind of room, but I Don't know. I'm not
saying that long boxes are bad. I just think
that by today's consumers They aren't needed
as much so They're not the most popular opinion
anymore or the most popular bought. That's all
So, I don't know. I think long beds are cool.
I have one. I have the extended bed on my 96.
Is that an 8 foot bed? I thought that was an
8 foot bed. No, it's 8 foot. It's long. It's
a long box. So, I have it. We have one. It's
just - 8 foot bed is the way. I've had both,
and anyone who gets a short bed, they're just
wrong. Yeah. I think style -wise I like the shorter
ones better. The only time I like a long bed
is if it's dually. I just think they're poor.
That opinion is meh. It's mid. Your opinion's
mid. It's an opinion. It doesn't matter. I don't
know, the only exception I would say is, like,
Tundra -Doolies. They fucking suck, they're ugly.
They make a Tundra -Doolie? Yeah. I don't think
they make a Tundra -Doolie. They do. I don't
think so. I'm pretty darn tootin' positive! Seeing
how the tundra is not a one -ton, I don't think
they did. They did a custom -built concept in
2007, that's the only time. Ooh, I'm sorry, I'm
looking at brand new 2026 tundra duly, like concept
mockups, and that's cool. It's never gonna happen,
because it's a... half ton pickup, not a three
quarter ton, not a one ton. They should, they
should do a three quarter. I would like to see
them get into like the one ton, three quarter
ton market. I'd actually prefer to see them just
do both, but it's just, they're not going to.
Yeah, I think - Because Toyota's, Toyota's not
trying to get into that market. They're trying
to get into the city market. Yeah. I mean, I
get it. Um, hold on. What's the last gen Toyota?
Uh, Tundra. Not the one, this newest one, the
old style. I don't know, I know nothing about
Tundras. 3rd gen? 4th gen? I don't know. Whoops.
Wow. Okay, I just typed in. It was the previous
gen than this, their long boxes were ugly, hideous
looking. I don't know why they ever made them
look like that. I liked them in single cab with
the long box, I thought they were fucking awesome.
Again, mid opinions coming out today. No, I...
They were fucking cool, because they were so
ugly it made them cool. That's, yeah, that's
it. I haven't gotten to the point where they're
so ugly they're cool. I'm just at that they're
so ugly. I like ugly cars, and I will admit it.
I do, I do too. I think that's just the wrong
type of ugly. It's like, when you see a pug,
and you're like, that thing's so ugly. Dude.
But it's a period, there's no cute. Oh, I haven't
even given my rap yet. Yeah, we've just been
bullshitting. I haven't given damn it. I gave
my rap. You got plenty of time Yeah, okay. Well
ten minutes, but so basic rundown we extracted
all the bits from Mark's truck that broke off
from the VVT city. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah That
was like three hours of Gavin doing surgery if
just follow the Instagram. We posted on the ground.
Yeah Got it all back together It ran great for
30 seconds, and then started misfiring on Cylinder
1, Cylinder 3, and Cylinder 5. We're... It's
not that we're giving up, it's that it's gonna
take us longer to figure it out than what it's
worth, so we're sending it to a shop. Surrender!
Yep. It... I'd rather them look it over and say,
yeah, the engine's fucked, it needs a new engine,
and then we'll put new engine in it. Rather than
them do it. Or... Them look at and say yeah,
it took us five minutes to fix it. Here's $500.
That'd be great Yeah Yeah, I mean if it's something
simple like maybe you got the wires swapped or
something. I don't know Yeah, we just we can't
figure it out The parts for my forerunner are
still not here. So I still don't have my own
car, which It looks like they might be coming
tomorrow or maybe they'll just make it to Nuego
tomorrow That pissed me off if they go to Nuego
and then not come here I'd fuckin' drive there,
I'd go pick it up. I would. Yeah, I think I'd
drive that Malibu all the way to New Eggo. Dude,
I don't trust that car to go, like, to town.
Oh, I'll pick it up for ya. And I'd drive that
Malibu - I think I have to, cause it's - I don't
know. But, um, so yeah, I... If they do come
tomorrow, then I'm gonna pull my car in the shop
and start tearing it apart tomorrow. Uh, cause
it'd be - oh, actually, I'm gonna start tearing
it apart Thursday, cause I'm taking Mark's truck
to the shop tomorrow. Maybe I'll start both tomorrow,
who knows. Yeah, so I got that going on. We stopped
at Ace to get a part for the black truck on,
was that Saturday? And they had these Nebo emergency
kits marked down from 140 to 60. So I grabbed
a bunch of those. I grabbed everything they had.
It was pretty sick, dude. Yeah, they're cool.
Alex offered me one of them. And I was like,
yeah, you know, that'd be kinda cool, but then
I kinda started looking at all my gear on the
wall, and I'm like, dude, I have like, literally
I have like ten lights, like four or five area
lanterns, including the one that I left at your
house. And I have the multiple battery options
for charging, so I was like... I really don't
need to get it, and this would benefit Mark and
Alan way more than it would me. Oh, I already
had them covered. Yeah. Well, and I didn't know
that. We had another extra. Yeah, so... I mean,
they're cool. I'm replacing a lot of my lights
with them. Like, the lantern that we mostly use
in the tent anyway, I'm replacing that with,
it's got, they've got like this expandable silicone
light thing. Yeah. So I'm replacing that with
the lantern with that, and then... It's got a
solar charger, which I already have one and I
don't really use it anyway, but I mean, an extra
battery pack's nice. The flashlight I'll probably
use very rarely. The headlamp isn't as good as
the headlamp I already have from Nebo, but it's
still a good headlamp. You know what I do? Don't
tell my wife. Just a good kit to throw in the
truck. Don't tell my wife, but I give my wife
all the shittier options that I already have.
and so so if I get like it's not that I'm giving
her shitty quality things it's just that if I
have something I like better I tend to keep that
and then she gets she gets the old like downgraded
version it's because well and who's okay and
let me defend myself here who does it and thinks
about a 24 -7 who's the main person that it's
about us Like, we're the ones that wanna go out
all the time, we're the ones that wanna tent
or to overland or go out. And they're just kinda
like, yeah, that sounds good, but it's not like
their passion, right? So, it's not that she doesn't
deserve it or anything, it's just like, I do
it way more so it would be more effective on
me. Nine times out of ten though, I buy her the
identical thing to what I've got. Yeah. I like,
Sienna likes her colors and like how cutesy things
look sometimes, so try to get her that version
of it. Yeah, no, I don't do that. One second.
Alex is also the type that will like, he'll make
a pot of chili, and then that's what everybody
eats for every meal of the day all weekend. Yeah.
Dude, it's cheaper that way. It's cheaper, but
maybe not more enjoyable. Oh, yeah, we don't
care. We're not that picky. Yeah. That is not
a downside, but it is a remark that I have to
be careful of. I told Sienna goes, what are you
gonna make for dinner tonight? I go, nah. I don't
know, I don't feel like cooking much hot dogs.
And she goes, well, I don't want hot dogs. Oh
my God. And I'm like, fine. So I made carne asada.
And I go... Katelyn goes... What are we making
for dinner? I said, I don't know. What are you
making for dinner? She goes, well, I don't really
want to cook. I'm like, all right, hot dogs it
is. And she's like, yeah, we'll make hot dogs.
Sometimes we'll do that. Like she, Sienna's,
her famous words are like, hey, babe. And in
the exact tone and everything. And I know exactly
which I go, what are you making me for dinner?
Before she even finishes the question, because
that's always what she does. She goes, hey, babe,
what's for dinner? So, yeah, so I had the thoughts
of me tonight, but I made some carne asada. We
had some nachos and stuff too, so. I only had
a couple of taco shells thawed out, so. Had some
nachos, carne asada, and... You know, the seasoning
really makes a difference. For the longest time
I've been using that cheap 99 cent taco seasoning.
Oh yeah, that's just drunk. Yeah. And I started
buying some better taco seasoning, it's in a
black wrapper, I can't remember what it's called.
They have like, Day of the Dead kinda artistry
on it. That shit's bomb. Oh my god. I could smell
the lime in it when I opened it. This is gonna
sound awful. I really like the Taco Bell one,
even though it's like, not good at all. I do,
I really like it for whatever reason. It doesn't
taste like Taco Bell, it doesn't taste like the
cheap Ortega bullshit. I really like it. It doesn't
taste like Taco Bell, because the meat's different.
Yeah, the meat's better. Yeah, you're drinking.
You're eating non -human meat. Taco Bell's all
kangaroo. Was that Taco Bell that knows McDonald's
years ago that they were saying they had kangaroo
meat in it? And I was like, I heard that. Heard
what? Yeah, all right. There's a Mexican fucking
frog in the background. It was this one right
here. I watched you cock your leg. I was trying
to get around the dog! You weren't! Look at her!
You were clearing your cheeks for an output shaft.
Now we got them all, look at this! I've never
tried the Taco Bell one, so I can't say much
about it. You have tried it, because when we
make tacos we usually use Taco Bell. Oh, that's
why, okay. It's like, it's okay. It's good. It's
good. It's decent stuff. It is. Um, I will say
also habanero honey. You remember that brand
that we always get our truffle hot sauce. They
have a habanero honey mustard. Very good. One
second. Oh, did you get the dogs out of here?
Hurry up. Get them out of here. Hurry up. This
is what he's saying right now. I could see it.
I was just repeating git over and over again.
Yeah, so what is that, Melinda's or whatever?
Melinda's. Oh my god. Anybody who frequents hot
sauce, Melinda's black truffle hot sauce is the
best hot sauce out there. Yep. I introduced it
to you guys like what, last year? I think so,
yeah. Between that, their green chili sauce,
which is really good for other stuff. It is.
And then there's hot honey habanero sauce, which
you do have to use little bits at a time because
it can be way too much. I put it on there like
regular mustard, immediately regretted it. But
it's really good, it's flavorful in small amounts.
And then the other top hot sauce is Cholula Chipotle.
Stay away from Linda's ketchup though, it's like...
Is it like Korean ketchup? It's kinda like barbecue
sauce, maybe? It doesn't feel or taste like ketchup.
Right. You ever had... I'm sorry, I'm asking
this and I know you have, but you've had Korean
ketchup, right? It's like, really different.
It depends, I guess. Most Korean ketchup is the
same as our ketchup. Oh, it tasted different
to me. I went to Oboe's or whatever. At most,
they put less sugar in it, and they don't have
as much dye. It tasted like more sugar to me.
Like, it tasted sweeter than Heinz. I was like,
is this syrup? And it's real sugar instead of
cornstarch like ours. Yeah. I've been getting
away from that stuff. It's starting to cost a
little more to do it, but I've been trying to
get away from, like, cornstarch and high fructose
corn syrup. Like, getting real maple syrup is
so much more expensive than getting the cheap
ship, but... You just gotta know a guy. Yeah,
well, I don't so My cousin right around the corner
makes a real maple syrup, and we just get a bunch
for like free well How about you sell me one
for like a dollar to a bottle and you make hell?
Nah, I barely get through the year on what I
get well get by the end of the year I'm still
buying Aunt Millie's oh God Aunt Millie's Dude
at this point now. I've been surprised since
I've started eating healthier buying higher quality
foods, I would say. Not necessarily, like, canceling
anything high -processed, because sometimes high
-processed foods are fine. But just getting higher
quality stuff in general, and I went back to
fake syrup for one week, threw it away. It's
fucking disgusting. Oh, it's absolutely disgusting.
And I remember one time where I loved it, and
that just kind of, it reminded me of when Sienna
was pregnant. We cut everything. unhealthy. We
stopped drinking soda for like six, ten months,
and we went and had McDonald's one day, and I
was like, dude, this is fucking disgusting. It
was actually the day that she had the baby. That
was the first time that we had eaten out fast
food in her whole pregnancy, and we hated it.
I tried to stay away from fast food because right
now, the way that... fast food prices are, you
can go to a mom and pop shop, spend the exact
same amount for more food, and have it be better
quality. Yeah, I don't really do it, unless it's
pizza. Pizza's like the only fast food that I
eat nowadays. What? Pizza? Fast food? You're
talking little sleazers? That shit's terrible.
Yeah, no, I mean like, it's one of those days
where like, like I'll have her get that on days
that are like I'm a - Recording with you or something
where I don't have a whole lot of time to make
it but But that's usually like maybe once a month
and then otherwise it's Andreas or galaxies So
I don't really count those two as fast food.
No, I don't either I'm just galaxy galaxy is
more fast food than Andreas, but still not really
fast food Yeah, and they're not fast food prices
either fucking galaxies is crazy expensive. You're
looking at like $20 a pizza I mean, Andreas isn't
too far off from that now. No, no, they're not,
but I think I prefer Galaxies. So, I like the
sweeter sauce. Andreas has a sweeter sauce than
Galaxies. I don't think so. That's Andreas' whole
thing, is that their sauce has been labeled and
voted on as the best sweet sauce, sweet pizza
sauce in Michigan. I don't know, I think Galaxies
is sweeter personally, but I like Galaxies. I
don't like Galaxies, cause their bread sucks.
What bread like the the I cross oh What yeah,
I can't I think it's really good. I get the the
Cajun I think it's butter Cajun or something
really good. I mean that might be better than
the standard but regular. Yeah Galaxy bread.
Oh And their calzones and galaxies are dope Calzones
are great when I do go to galaxy. I get the calzone.
I don't know if you could ever have a bad calzone
though like Dude, I got one from a gas station,
right? Yeah. Dude, this thing was like a rock
on the inside. The outside felt great. And then
you bit into it. It was like, oh, no. And it
wasn't frozen. It was just dry and burnt. And,
you know, you know what I I we went to the mall
to get Sienna some books here a couple of months
ago. I only do like 30 minute mall visits. So
it was like, get your books, get out. And so
she knows. For me to get me to stay longer as
if she says that we can get food So I was like,
yeah, okay, we can get food I was like only if
I can get some s borrows like some borrows and
She's like, okay, cuz I I haven't eaten some
borrows and probably ten years But I remember
what they used to taste like and it was like
heaven on earth for me And I was like dude, I
want the sabaro's pepperoni like calzone thing
or whatever. I got there They had none fuckin'
left. And I'm like, this is after we spent like
an hour in the mall and she wanted to look at
shoes and shit. And I was like, that's it? We're
leaving. We're gonna McDonald's or something.
Fuck this. I like the mall Chinese more than
most Chinese. Mall Chinese just reminds me of,
like, cheap Chinese that we had down in Lansing.
It was called Ing Credible. Ing Credible? Yeah.
The it was the worst Chinese place as far as
like being actually Chinese Yeah It's like this
like do you want general so but it was named
general so but everybody called it red the red
one the red meat because it was like It was like
cherry cough syrup red or do you want the yellow
and it was like chair or like the yellow honey?
Cough drops yellow. Yeah And it was just, like,
heaping things of that. Incredible. I remember
being a kid. On Fort Huachuca, there's a Chinese
place called Mimi and Bobo's. Any signal soldier
knows what I'm talking about. It's so cheap,
dude. Like, I don't know what it is now. I haven't
looked at their menu, but when I was there, you
could get, like, a plate like this size, like
a to -go box, get it delivered for under $10.
That's so nice. But it was disgusting like the
worst food you could ever yeah, you know, they're
getting yeah you they're taking carp and shit
out of the rivers and saying ass chicken like
we had we had I remember feeling really embarrassed
because I was trying to be like culturally nice
to one of the Asian workers there Oh, dude, their
prices haven't changed at all. Oh, dude. Yeah,
you know, it's bad then And I went gracias to
the fucking I was probably like I ate something
like that and my mom just looks at me and I said
what I said thank like thank you and she goes
no you didn't she's like they're Asian they don't
know what the fuck you're saying I'm like with
huh there's a different language other than Spanish
I had no idea Maybe that's how sheltered I was
but at eight years old. I didn't know there was
any other Spanish language in Spanish And that's
only because my next -door neighbors for Spanish
and all right well We need to cut this off for
37 minutes, and I need to go tell a kid to take
his little butt to bed oh All right, we'll talk
to you guys later later
