On this episode we ask Are NASCAR drivers athletes?, Giveaways, Tech News and More!

What's new, what's new with Menace? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I'm Menace, I'm joined by Bort, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. He has an assistant. His assistant's name is Eric and he works on the Woody Show as well. Joining us from Houston, Texas, is Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T, from the Sean Salisbury Show, a morning sports radio show. Now, I am laughing so hard because we have spent the past 40 minutes

trying to get Tyler's microphone to work, and guess what? Tyler, what happened? I think the microphone died, and I think I took a dump. So I am now talking to you guys from my phone in my closet. And the thing is, I say he spilled barbecue sauce on the microphone. Drooling on it. Yeah. We tried everything under the sun to try to get his mic to work and it just won't work.

So we're going to have him on the phone because there is some things that I do want to bring up with him. Also, join us. Officially, now, week week to week is Julianne from I heart radio because there's more announcements to come, but she is an official member of what's new pod. Thank you, Julianne for being a part of our podcast. I'm happy to be a part of it. I love you guys. Obviously it's like we dropped 240 pounds with randy and we gained back well i'm just kidding i was i was 125 now she has another human literally inside of her and still not as much as randy we're talking about like how gross that is but it is it's gross i'm

sure it will progress more and more later on. Before we started this podcast, I was playing a recording. I was on the Booker and Stryker show on Alt 98.7. I stopped on by before I was heading out to a Daiso, and they had a debate. And I want to hear your feedback on this. The debate was, if you're a NASCAR driver, are you an athlete? Is NASCAR a sport even? And also with bowling, are you an athlete?

I want to hear your feedback. I said on the recording, you guys heard it. I said, yes, you're an athlete if you drive NASCAR because the physical endurance that you need to have is just next level. It is incredible. If you Google it, watch the videos of the stuff that these guys have to go through to do 200 laps. Yes, you're absolutely an athlete. And then bowling, I said, barely an athlete.

Okay. I don't think they're barely an athlete. I think they 100% are athletes because I don't know, I love bowling and it's, it's pretty hard. pretty hard. Like, I want to throw strikes every single time. That's how you win, right? Whoever has the highest points. So you're saying they're at the level of, like, a NASCAR driver? If a NASCAR driver is an athlete, a bowler and a NASCAR driver at the same level? I'm just saying, like, on the totem pole of athletes, bowlers are, like, at the very bottom. I would put bowlers higher than NASCAR drivers.

Really? Because are NASCAR drivers at the very bottom. I would put bowlers higher than NASCAR drivers. Really? Because are NASCAR drivers at the same level as runners? I'd say, I mean, obviously people would be like, well, they're driving like 300 miles an hour, blah, blah, blah. They're driving. Yeah, they're driving. Bowling, I think, takes more skill than NASCAR. If you put a bowler in with a NASCAR driver

on the physical endurance, there's no way any professional bowlerler be able to hang with those guys. I mean, to be honest, I would consider major league gamers a form of sporting, right? A form of sport. They're athletes in their style, right? That's a NASCAR driver. Same thing. They sit for a long time and they have hand-eye coordination.

Guys, are you serious? There's a level of skill to ball these. I'm not going to say none of them are athletes. Their level of athleticism is not the same. You're sitting and driving in a car while the car is doing everything for you. Guys, there's no way you have not looked this up. I said on this show. Look up what?

They're driving. I do it every day on the way home look up on youtube nascar driver training there's no way i get it it's it's hard it's difficult but like i'm not saying that you think you would be able to hang 200 laps what about that dude what the what's bro i have sat in four and a half hours of los angeles traffic okay with that one piss break okay i'm telling you i've been I was on board with you guys. I agreed with you a thousand percent until I actually did research on it. Look, okay.

I don't know how you can sit there and say that it's too easy or NASCAR drivers aren't athletes. Dude, some of the tracks that they drive on, and we just had a really good example because they had that race at the la coliseum some of those tracks are a mile or less than a mile long which seems like oh that's still plenty long when you're driving 200 miles an hour that is not that that is not a long track that is a super short track and to keep in mind that these guys they really only have enough space for two cars to really be like going at the same speed at the same time in the same lane it's a lot more mental precision i guess you could say and then on top of that the physical toll that it takes that's what i'm trying to tell these guys are you going that's what i'm saying

like not only are you going super fast not only are the g-forces hitting you but when you make these turns i don't think people realize that yeah yeah, they're left turns, but these are left turns at about 45 to 90 degree angles. So in a way, you're almost turning sideways while you're left. And I don't think people realize how much of a toll that really takes on your body.

Don't get me wrong. Tyler, I play Gran Turismo, okay? I know exactly what kind of toll it took on my body as I was using the controller. He lives in Texas now. He's biased. This is his moot point. Nothing he says. Also, Tyler has direct experience of this because that is the same miles per hour that he drove to the studio every morning to get here in 10 minutes from 60 miles away.

Okay, I really wanted to have Tyler on the phone because I want to also bring up something that had to do with endurance and that had to do with the endurance of your band on your iwatch because you posted a photo tyler of yourself the other day and i think it was probably from the cook-off or it was it was the day after i think it was at his job and he's eating like a hoagie or something. It was at Liz. No, he was highlighting a jalapeno pepper. Yes. In the photo on his Instagram, which is at heavy tea on air. Right, Tyler? Okay. Now, if you zoom in, a couple of people zoomed into that photo and you look at the armband

of your Apple watch, it looks like it's kind of stressing out a little bit, bro. Now, I'll repost this at What's New Pod. Now, do we need to shout out the resistance on that band? That's an athletic wristband, man. At What's New Pod. I've always had naturally big wrists. Okay, just leave me alone.

So then maybe you should look into an extender for your wristbands. Maybe. I will admit, when I did get it, it was a little small and it was a little tight. Was? So maybe I do need to get another one. I'm just saying. Are you on the last little ring? Like, you can't extend it any further?

No, he had to create another little hole. I'm on the third to last. Oh, no, the second to last one. Dude, give your wrist some breathing room, man. A little give right there. Dude, just tape it on. Your head has to be purple, bro. There's literally a bulge coming around the band.

If you want to see what we're talking about, go to atwhatsnewpod on Instagram. Okay, first off, it's not purple. There's no bulge. Second, if you guys are zooming in on my wrist, man, you guys got way too much time. No, man. There was plenty to zoom in on that photo. You looked like crap. You had a hoagie.

No, he looked fly, dude. No, he didn't. He looked rough. He looked rough. You know you look rough, Tyler. I wouldn't say that. I was more worried about that photo seeing him face plant right after. What did he do five seconds afterwards?

He had the meat sleds from the cook-off. It was the hangover from the cook-off, right? I mean, it was that, but it was one of those days, and I know you guys all have them. Eat sweats from the cook-off. It was the hangover from the cook-off, right? I mean, it was that, but it was one of those days, and I know you guys all have them. You ever have one of those days where you're just not mentally there, like you just don't want to be there? Every day.

Every single day. That was basically the expression on my face. I'm like, I just don't mentally want to be at work right now. I'd rather be at home. I'm burping hot links. I'm sweating margarita mix. I know. I had 10 patties the night before high five i i agree with tyler why does your uh name tag say heavy t los angeles just letting all the ladies know you're from la so someone pointed that out two things number one i actually completely forgot that my next table's on the other side of my date

tag because i know i said last week that, like, oh, I don't expect people to, like, call me that. And then I posted the picture, and when I looked at it, I was like, oh, crap, I totally forgot I have my nickname on my name tag. But the reason we put Los Angeles, they want us to put where we're from. I know Disney does the same thing with Netflix name tags. Yeah, so that's why it says Los Angeles. I know someone was calling me out like,

bro, why are you still repping LA? I'm like, dude, they told me I had to do that. It wasn't my choice. Yeah, girl, you why it says Los Angeles. I know someone was calling me out like, bro, why are you still repping LA? I'm like, dude, they told me I had to do that. It wasn't my choice. Yeah, girl, you ever seen the ocean? Money appears down here. I don't live that far from the water. All right. Something's happening going on today.

I'm going to be at Daiso in Torrance on Sepulveda. Come hang out. I'm going to have a ton of giveaways for that. And then the Gillotinies we had. Dude, I'm telling you. Speaking about turning up, this last guillotinies game, people were already super faded when Ravy and I got there. The tailgate was real or what?

Off the chain. We couldn't believe it. But yeah, if any listeners want to go again for free, make sure you hit up that Instagram account, at Stash Goat. That account at Stash Goat. That's at Stash Goat. And don't forget, Morongo, May 13th, What's New Pod? We'll be doing a live podcast from there.

Can I get into some tech news with you guys? Tech news. Yep. Amazon is closing most of its physical stores, those four-star storesstar stores yeah did they just put all those in everywhere they're closing 68 of them what they are yeah i really like those stores i i'll be honest maybe i bought like one thing one time but i like walking into them yeah they're fun knowing that they're there i know all the bookstores they can afford to keep them i never went into one because the one that was closest to me in glendale california at the galleria yeah it opened like right as the rona hit so there was always a line and i'm like i'm not gonna stand

in line to go look at something i could literally look on the website i never saw the point in doing it yeah what was cool about it is also know, you could scan different things and you could just buy it off your phone and just have it sent to your house. So you didn't have to take it home. You ever see, what is it? 40 year old virgin? Like the store. We sell your stuff on eBay.

Yeah. It's like, can I buy this here? No, no. We sell it on eBay. It's like, but I want to buy this. It's like, no, we go on the website and buy it. Yeah. It's probably where they got the idea.

Probably. But they said they're going to focus on all the grocery stores and their clothing retail stores. Now, have you been to an Amazon Fresh store yet? No. Any of you guys? No? They have one in North Hollywood, which is not too far from the radio station. And I love it because you can scan all your items into your grocery cart and just leave. So you don't have to go through the check stand at all.

And most of the time when you put the item into the grocery cart, it already knows what the item is. Oh. It's pretty cool. I was wondering how they were going to do that. Yeah. And it's kind of like what Sam's Club does. Like I have never gone through any of the check stands at Sam's Club. Oh, really?

You just have the app on your phone and you just scan all your items and then you just show that you paid at the door and you just walk out. What? That's pretty cool. Similar at Disneyland now. I was just there at Downtown Disney last week and they have, it's not so much the put in your shopping cart, but you can mobile pay and you show them that you paid and they'll check

your bag basically, like your receipt on the way out the door. Wait, I'm still tripping out about Sam's Club. I didn't know that yeah sam's club you just put everything in your cart and as you're putting in the cart you scan it with the app and then you just show it at the door and you're good to go so there's this long old line to get out no there's never really a long line to leave the store but i never really get there is still big ass lines at the check stands and i go guys uh the app you don't have to wait in the check stand at all maybe they don't trust it a lot of people don't trust

technology yeah true that gregory yeah right dinosaur but uh and another thing that people sleep on is the amazon basics for clothing dude it's coming up big time they have all this different clothing options available like your nikes your adidas is everything super cheap legit prices so i think that's again that is blowing up that's why they're moving all their focus over there also apple they have their next big event which i used to like pretty much just camp out at my computer for but now i don't even do it anymore it's gonna be happening march 8th and the only thing that they expect out of that is the new ipad air but nothing else really exciting the reason i don't camp out anymore for

any of this stuff because there really hasn't been the new iphone like some new product yeah it's just the new version of what the last thing was yeah whatever you have and now i don't even buy the new version of the new version you know i still have the iphone x me too i know because honestly you really don't need it unless you really want like a better camera although something weird happened remember how you saw you've seen me try to use my phone and i had i think i've talked about it like the other on the storage i have been struggling with my phone storage for a long time deleting photos trying to make room for other crap i magically like my phone freed up like eight gigs of something. I don't know where it came from, but I did.

I just literally was like, what the hell? Like, I was trying to do something. I looked at the phone storage, and all of a sudden, I have like eight gigs available. I don't know where it came from. Well, they also got called out saying, hey, you know, older phones don't work anymore when you guys release the phones.

And it's a double edged sword because I get it because they have new software that they're trying to release. Yeah. And obviously this is new advanced software. It might not work on an older product. So it's going to be all clunky. Yeah. But they got me to upgrade real hard, though.

I keep getting text messages saying, well, new phone. Well, wait until after this and see if they announce anything. Because that always sucks. You're like, I just got the new version of blah, blah, blah. And then two weeks later, Apple has an announcement that they're coming out with a new phone. That's why I take forever just to even upgrade my phones

because I feel like that happens to me every single time I get a new phone. Something bigger and better comes out. I agree with you. But now I've seen the light. It's not like really that important anymore to get the newest, baddest thing, unless it's like some mind blowing technology that's not available. I want something to blow my mind.

I honestly have a lot of stuff that I probably won't be able to sign back in on because I don't remember passwords well. Dude, that's why I don't have Snapchat anymore. I got a new phone. Didn't remember my password. Didn't remember the email it was associated with. That's gone. My Instagram probably won't be able to sign in.

Yeah, and every time I sign in, it won't. I haven't signed in on Instagram in years. I have to do a new password because I don't remember the previous one. One last piece of tech news. HBO Max is going to pick up soccer, US soccer. And did you hear that Amazon is picking up World Cup stuff? Okay. They're seeing like, oh oh this is a big opportunity if they make it like worldwide that's a big

potential to get more users and Amazon is also shifting or getting the Thursday night broadcast I think in the NFL so there's a big move going ESPN plus already has a ton of streamable hockey games soccer games college sports through like the you can get through the Disney bundle package or whatever there's a huge shift going to streamable content and I mean soccer is massive people poke a lot of crap poke a lot

of fun at soccer but soccer is huge let's go to our closeted correspondent for soccer have you embraced a soccer team in Houston yet Houston Dynamo Dumb, dumb possible. Let's go to our closeted correspondent for soccer. Yeah, have you embraced the soccer team in Houston yet? Houston Dynamo. I mean, there is the Houston Dynamo, but I don't watch the American or MLS.

It sucks. It's garbage. Oh, you're sleeping on it, dude. Eric, we went with Randy. It was super fun. LFC. Oh, my God. The best. I've been to an LA Galaxy game, and it was fun, but it's just watching it on TV.

It's not the same. It's one of those things where if I watch it in person, yeah, I'll follow it, and I'll have a good time. But if I'm watching it on TV, I'll change it after five minutes because U.S. soccer on TV is just not good. Didn't you used to play soccer? Yeah. Okay.

But that's one of those things where playing soccer is one thing. He was the goal post. Playing soccer is one thing, but watching it is something completely different. All right, true. Yeah, I played soccer for seven years. I was actually even asked to be put on a traveling team, but my mom wouldn't let me do it. Why? Because she's like, oh, you're not going to be a little kid out on your own without any parental supervision and stuff.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it sucked. Mom, parents can come and stuff. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it sucked. I loved it. Mom, parents can come and watch. Yeah. Yeah, I would, like, be able to go, like, to Hawaii and all kinds of stuff, but I couldn't do it, so I quit the game. CBass here talking to you about one of my favorite topics

Is anybody going to take him up on that oh my god this was a uh a merry with children joke remember really yeah when the mob was on strike in the 90s on merry children yeah they all started going to all these food places and stuff i think uh uh brett saberhagen ended up as a chef at a pizza place in the episode yeah i mean, it wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there will be one baseball player that will take him up on it and get, like, a huge payday. It'll be, like, some news that they're working at some location for a couple days or something like that. They'll endorse me, yeah. Drop some money in. Target is hiking up their minimum wage to $24 an hour.

That's what I'm saying! Maybe they'll go there and wear some khakis. Oh, hell yeah. Also in food news, golden Oreo ice cream is coming. All in, all out. All in. I love those Oreos. Oreo has firmly cemented

itself as my favorite cookie. All the flavors, every single one of them. I just bought two packs, the lemon one, and then I bought the new one with the funfetti in the middle. Those are bomb. Funfetti them. I just bought two packs, the lemon one and then I bought the new one with the funfetti in the middle. Those are bomb. Funfetti anything. I just want Oreos and ice cream.

Let it get soggy and scoop it out with a spoon. Yes. Because it'll fall apart. I'll take like eight cookies and drop four of them in my milk and eat the other four and then have like an Oreo mush

at the end. Yes, me too. Okay, fat moment. So I went to Wienerschnitzel, right? And I grabbed their new veggie dog. And? Amazing. Really?

It's really good. Well, and I'm a vegetarian. But it was amazing. I really loved it. I was like, I kind of need something else to like wash this veggie dog down with. Is that the Oreo shake? Oh, yeah.

And I don't know if you guys have had their Oreo shake in a minute, but oh my god they take actual oreos they crush them up in the back big ass chunks of oreo yeah i got to the bottom all of a sudden i was eating a mushed up cookie yeah there is always one giant like ball of oreo at the bottom yeah you know what um so last saturday i went to nascar and we were driving by a jack-in-the-. And I tell my friends and, and Kevin's in the car. I said,

Hey, have you guys ever been a Jack in the box? And they're like, yeah. I'm like, Oh, I have it. The whole car got quiet and they all looked at me and they're like,

you're joking, right? Like they were waiting for me to do a punchline. I was all, no, I'm being dead serious. They, they were going to make me drive them to, to Jack in the Box to get some tacos,

but I told them no, that I was going to try it with you guys first. Sweet. We got to set a day and get that done. I would have been okay if you had gone to bed just so you could eat it. They were talking like, oh, they put this cheese in the taco. It's insane that you've never been there. Don't ever open up the taco because then you won't want to eat it, but it's so good. You don't want to know the sausage is made.

It's so deep fried you can barely open it anyways. All right. Moving over to Burger King, though. Burger King has removed a Whopper as a value meal option and reduces chicken nugget count because of supply chain issues. Oh, God. They're taking the 10-piece chicken nugget count because of supply chain issues. Oh, God. They're taking the 10-piece chicken nugget to an 8-piece. Why are we still doing the supply chain crap, man? The king said I could have it my way.

What is that, Tyler? The king said I could have it my way. What is this crap? The king is going through some problems, man. The king has the Rona, man. And you know they're not going to change it back. Yeah. They're going to say, oh, sorry, guys.

We got to cut you by two nugs. And when they always make a change like that, they never change it back. Ever. They'll tease you and get you all excited and say it's coming back. Just like Taco Bell and the Mexican pizza. They keep saying it's coming back. But has it come back? Where is it?

I'm still hungry for it. True. Also, Crown Royale. Royale. Crown Royale. for it true also uh crown royale royal royal also crown royal introduces a new whiskey lemonade canned cocktail all in all out all in all in yep dude i have a soft spot with crown royal because when i worked at a tv station our um janitor he used to come to work super wasted all the time. I never ratted him out ever,

and he would bring me bottles of Crown Royal as a thank you because he knew sometimes he was way too drunk to be at work. That's dope. But I never ratted him out, so he would cook me up with bottles here and there, so it was pretty cool. They have a bunch of Crown Royal mixed drinks now, so that's like the fifth or sixth one I think I've seen.

They have them all at Rite Aid. Oh, nice. You should go grab them, man. All right, I'm down. Also in alcohol news, Blue Moon Light Sky introduces new tropical wheat flavor. All in, all out. Tropical like-

A tropical drink flavor, yeah. Like a fruity. Like there's grapefruit in there? No, probably like No. Pineapple. Pineapple. Yeah. Think of like one of like those summer ones that they have or those spring types, but then make it the light beer.

Have you tried the light sky one? I'm not a real big fan of fruity things. Like I'll try it. I'll try it. But if it's going to be fruity, it has to be liquor. If it's going to be beer, no, no, thank you. It gives me a stomach ache. You know what I'm addicted to right now is the high noon stuff.

Oh, really? High noon grapefruit is my jam right now. I don't know why, but I'm addicted. You're a high noon guy, right, Eric? I've had a couple. I mean, I just don't buy them as often just because I don't see them when I am out buying them. Do you know where I'm finding them is hotel lobbies. Oh, really?

Yeah, so the first place I really legit had it was when I am out buying them. Do you know where I'm finding them is hotel lobbies. Oh, really? Yeah. So like the first place I like really legit had it was when I was in Orlando at the hotel lobby and they had it. And then at Aria in Vegas, they have it in their like little convenience store there. I'm all about it, dude. I'll buy like four at a time. Do they have other flavors besides grapefruit? They do, but I love grapefruit.

So I'm all in on the grapefruit. Like you even like the actual fruit itself or you just like... I do. I used to have a grapefruit tree at my house. Don't you eat it with sugar? You pour sugar on top of it and you scoop it with the spoon? No, I just eat it straight. Allegedly it's fat burning.

There you go. Tyler, have you ever tried a grapefruit? No, he hasn't. I have tried it once in my life and it's not good. What you ever tried a grapefruit? No, he hasn't. I have tried it once in my life. What's the opposite of grapefruit? That's what Tyler goes with. All right, switching up to some sports news real quick. We had DJ T-Mar in the studio the other day, and we're talking Dodgers. And, you know, the whole thing's happening with the MLB.

And I said, Tim, it's time to start embracing these minor league teams you know the minor league teams they can still play will you embrace them and he didn't even know who the minor league team was i was a little for the dodgers right i was a little upset about that one so i googled it and come to find out okay they have one major one which is the um the quakes out in Rancho Cucamonga. Well, no, that's not even their major one. Oh, well, that's the local one. And you have the Tulsa Drillers.

Yeah, the Tulsa Drillers. They have five. Yeah. Five minor league teams. And one of them that I looked up was the DSL Dodgers. Oh, stop it! I don't know if you know about this. Tyler!

The DSL Dodgers. And I was like, you know about this. Tyler! The DSL Dodgers. I was like, I gotta buy merch. The DSL Dodgers. If you want to do a deep dive, you get to minor league teams, dude. There are some wacky ass names. Just wait, because I did do the dive on this. But the DSL Dodgers, by the way, it means Dominican Summer League. Dodgers.

No, it doesn't, Tyler. No, it doesn't. So I do want to get some merch somehow for the DSL Dodgers because I think that's hilarious. But I did do the deep dive, Eric, that you requested, and I started looking into some of these minor league teams and some that we should support. And they have the El Paso Chihuahuas, which is awesome.

They have the Hartford Yardgoats. They have the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. They have the Modesto Nuts. And one that we've talked about a bunch of times in here is the Rocket City Trash Pandas in Alabama. I'm all in. And the Trash Pandas are actually an extension of the Angels. Yeah, the Angels. Yeah.

Yeah, the Angels AA team, which is pretty dope. One of my favorite is the Montgomery Biscuits. Oh, really? I didn't even see that one. And it's literally, their logo is like a biscuit with a little square butter as a mouth. Our group chat between myself, Tyler, and Randy, we followed down some rabbit holes, which is

weird mascot names, jerseys. I know Tyler probably has a ton memorized. Yeah, so one of the coolest new minor league team names, so the Houston Astros AAA minor league team just renamed themselves. They were the Sugarland Skeeters. They have renamed themselves to the Sugarland Space Cowboys. Nice. Where do they get these names at?

Do you guys know? I don't know. But, like, it's such a dope logo. It's such a badass name. I'm all for it. I love minor league names. They're the best. It has to be a merch thing, right?

Because, like, if you make it wacky and crazy, people will buy merch for it. And then they go even a step further because they go wacky logos and names or whatever. And then they have theme nights all the time because they're trying to get people out there. They go like $2 beer nights, bring a family member, get them in free, whatever. They do insane food combos. Yeah, insane food combos.

They have weird jersey nights. They'll have Star Wars themed ones where they're wearing effing Starfighter uniforms or Spongebob. like you know star wars theme ones where they're wearing like effing starfighter uniforms or um spongebob they spongebob game they had a spongebob game in the echl one of the minor league hockey leagues uh-huh um and it was a spongebob game and one side was like um pink like a uh patrick star costume and their side was a spongebob costume like you get to the minor leagues it's it's so fun and it's so wacky and i know it's gimmicky but like it's they gotta do what they gotta do you

Okay, yeah.

It's pretty cool. I love it. It looks like a Daft Punk logo. It looks like Daft Punk and the Kraken mixed together. There you go. And also, shout out to our friends at the Coachella Firebirds, the minor league team for the Kraken.

I can't wait to go to one of their games once they finish their arena. That's going to be fun. Oh, going back to the Trash Pandas and Angels Stadium, I'm going to make it a point this year to finally, now that everything starts getting lifted, that I'm going to go to Angels Stadium for the very first time.

What? You've never been, huh? I've never been. Yeah, because remember, you probably don't remember because it was two years ago that we made this like huge bucket list thing that we were going to do for 2020. Julianne, you weren't here, but we all made a laundry list of this is what we're going to do in 2020.

And it was just like all these cool things. And then the pandemic hit. And then nothing. Literally like two months later, we were shut down. Yeah. What are you going to say, Tyler? I was supposed to fly in like a military plane or something like that.

Oh, yeah. Dude, we had it all set up. He was going to be in the military because Tyler's like, we hung out and we found out that Tyler's like insanely into planes. Like he like legit knows about different planes.

And then they asked me to be part of some air show and I was going to fly in like some sea, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Like some crazy military plane. I was like, look, I don't want to do this, but I know a guy that'll be all about it. And it was legit going to happen. And then the pandemic hit. Why didn't you want to do it? Uh, because I knew Tyler would, you know, I gave up my spot cause I knew Tyler would

be. So if Tyler didn't like that, you would have went on the plane? Yeah, I probably would have done it. Yeah. But if somebody's like super into something more than I am, I'm going to make sure they're taken care of. Yeah. If they're part of the crew.

Yeah. Especially with someone like Tyler, who's very, very intense about very few things, but very intense, like planes and apparently where people have been assassinated. He loves that. He loves that. That's like Kaplan's friend who's been assassinated. He loves that. He loves that. That's like Kaplan's friend who's obsessed with buses. Yeah, true. Like if I got offered a bus, I'm going to hit up Kaplan's friend and be like, here, dude, the bus is all yours.

He has a tattoo of a school bus on his, I think it's his arm or something. Yeah, I don't think you guys met him, but he's a radio guy. He's super cool. I love him. So it had me thinking, okay, oh, what else was on the list of things that I had to do?

And, you know, Julianne's never been to Jack in the Box. Here's some things I've never done in LA still. Again, I know Angel Stadium is not part of LA. That's Orange County.

But in LA, I've never been to the, well, I've been outside, but never inside of the Rose Bowl. I've gone to flea markets and events I haven't been inside either I mean born and raised here never been inside the Rose Bowl that's strange maybe we can go together I'm down UCLA game maybe

a football game okay let's do it I'd suggest UCLA versus the USC games it's just packed just dumb fun that's the only games I went to we'll do that also never been to Hollywood Bowl Driven by it a billion times I was supposed to go a hundred times

And it always got cancelled You could drink Or bring your own alcohol I can't believe they allow that They're not booths But it's kind of like your own table area Up in the front by the stage And I don't know

It's so cool You can buy your own table area up in the front by the stage. And I don't know. It's so cool. You can buy your own table? Yeah. Well, you don't buy it. It's part of your ticket. It's an upgraded ticket. But then also when you park,

you're not going to want to park where they tell you to because that area, you can get parked behind, right? Yeah, yeah. If you're parking at the venue, it's like a giant driveway basically, and they do rows. So if you're not if you're parking on the at the venue it's like a giant driveway basically and they do rows so if you get in early you're going to be at the way which is when you get there at the front is now the back because they let you out like that no so you want to park on a lot and walk in right but yeah the hollywood bull is dope i've been a couple times they have some pretty dope uh july 4th firework shows so if you want to go for that, that'd be pretty cool. I saw Mumford and Sons there.

They were amazing. I saw the Goo Goo Dolls. And Matchbox 20. That was my first concert I'd ever been at. And it was there. Yeah, so I definitely got to scratch those off now that things are finally opening. I saw that a lot of places across the country,

everybody back in the office by May yeah what the hell what's up with these companies that said you guys will never have to come back and then all of a sudden Google's like hey guys we need you come back need you back three days a week yeah I mean is it gonna be weird to finally have people back in here after two years it'll be good fun no I I love it I love having people in here but i mean if they're not into it anymore and they want to work from home that's gonna be it's gonna be weird i think the whole lead up that people don't have to be back into work until may is for people that are like hey either move back to where the office is because a lot of them just move to another state

another city or it's like it's giving them time to find another job gonna be weird is the fact that people are going to be coming back and i put that in air quotes that haven't been like they're coming back when people are returning to the office that are still i mean they're not new because they've been hired within the last two years but they're coming back to the office for the first time you know like people people have been fired and hired and fired and like there are new people coming back to the office for the first time. You know, like people have been fired and hired and fired and like there are new people coming back that are replacing people that we didn't even know

were fired back at the beginning of the office. Well, that's like Nacho. She's been working her job for an entire year, has never been in the office once. Yeah. So she would be like, oh, I've been with you guys for a year but I've never walked one foot into any of the offices.

Going into work again seeing people's faces for the first time you know like the people that are really like on it about the mask stuff like you're seeing people for the literally you've been working for a year plus and you see them for their whole face for the first time it's kind of weird and menace you're really big on after the show you go around and you walk around and you talk to salespeople i know told me to do that and so i would you know i would do it and then when i first started with the company i sat with the salespeople so i knew a lot of them and now working at night i'll go over there to heat up my food and there's like kids like they're like a whole new squad yeah i'm like who are you who are you

and they're all a part of the sales team i I'm like, but they come in whenever they want. It's like sporadic when I see them. But it's crazy because I don't think that you guys have even laid eyes on them. No, it's going to be weird. When everybody's back in the office, there's going to be, like you said, so many more new people that we've never seen before. And they're like, I've been working here for a year. Yeah, right?

I know. I think you guys are missing the obvious points, though. More people means we get more free stuff. It means there's more food drops. And then get more pizza drops, get more sponsorship food. Hell yeah. Yeah, it's going to be fun. Make it Fridays again.

Damn, man. Get some pink cheese. It goes back to my prediction, everything wrapped up by the end of March, which I'm very excited about. Are you three for three on these early ones for your predictions? My predictions? No, I think I'm just two so far. Two, okay.

I know you got one. Aaron Rodgers and then this one. But it's going step by step on my list, though, which is kind of scary. I didn't really write it down on the predictions, but I have said it verbally is, okay, what does the news do now? Because they've been you know sitting on covid for the past couple years and that's their 24th thing yep yeah you nailed it now now russia is gonna be their new obsession which i'm afraid of like we're gonna see how far

this russia thing's gonna go right what i what i love i mean i don't want to say i love it but my the thing i find humorous is that all the statements coming out from like all companies and leagues and stuff not so much like boycotting you know people are pulling product and stuff but yeah the other day i saw um a minor league i think might have been oh it's a college basketball league mountain west i think it might be it's like mountain west stand blah blah blah the inhumane i'm like who cares this is you're an effing college basketball league we don't care like thanks for the statement we We talked about this on the Woody Show. This is people that are, like, monetizing this for free promotion.

Rando Company, we're no longer working with Russia. Okay, just don't do it, but you're putting out statements to get your name out there. It's super weird. NHL game pulled the Russian teams off of their game. It's like, ooh.

Ooh, all right. Sick. Can you guys do what the Pokemon Company did, by the way? Shout out to the Pokemon Company, because we love Pokemon around here. They donated $200,000 to help children that are dealing with stuff. See, now put that in a statement, okay? Not just that, oh, we don't condone the acts of Russia. Yeah, well, no crap.

You know? Yeah, we kind of don't like war. We don't like people dying. It'd be news if you put out a statement that said you support it, okay? There's your statement. Yeah. Wait, quick question. I'm being dead serious. Is it Pokemon or is it Pokemon?

Because I always thought it was Pokemon. Pokemon. Pokemon. Pokemon. I always correct people when they say Poke. My mom calls me Pokemen. Pokemen. Yeah, Pokemen.

Pokeman. You swear to God. Pokeman. Pokeman. If I am the people of Russia, am I upset? Am I? Because my money's worth nothing i i wonder about the athletes too that sucks they're getting pulled out left and right they're just getting

canceled i don't know where etchkin got pulled from all of the ccm ads is like so it's a hockey player for those who don't know he's like the pretty much the most the most successful russian hockey player ccm is a hockey brand and he's like wait, wait a minute, I have nothing to do with this. They pulled him from all their global marketing. So I don't know if that means he's not getting paid. I don't think it means he's not getting paid, but they're just not using him in the ads anymore, which I mean, I guess free money on his end.

I mean, it's like, I didn't do anything. Yeah, exactly. But if money means nothing over there, what does it matter if he gets paid? Very true. I mean, it kind of makes sense though. Like, how do you make a crazy person get mad? Oh, let's take all the rich people

that probably have ties to the mafia that's still over there allegedly allegedly mafia that might be there that's tied to secret government stuff allegedly over there you piss all them off and then it'll all end that's the only way to do it there was like some business guy who put a million dollar bounty on putin's head wow insane Yeah. Saying that for him to get arrested, not for him to get killed. It's going to be crazy to see how this all plays out. Hopefully it just ends soon. Ukraine's getting major street cred from all this though.

Yeah, they are. Because all these like professional boxers going back and like joining the army and it's just. Yeah. Like I said on the Woody show, it's awesome. But I'm afraid that like Russia hasn't shown their full hand yet you know like they haven't used all the force that they have all their capabilities so i'm not celebrating just yet yeah because who knows how it's gonna happen rope it open them a little bit yeah so hopefully let's

just you know let's end it no more please i know peace not peace i know anyways well i gotta wrap this up because i gotta head on out to Torrance. I'm going to be at Daiso on Sepulveda from 4 to 6. Yeah. I'm giving away a ton of stuff. Look, here's my stack right here. Look how thick this envelope is. Oh, yeah.

That is pretty thick. I have tickets as well to a Woody Show event. Oh, an event. Woody Show event. An event. An event. So I'm just saying, if you're listening to this before four o'clock and you have time to stop on by, stop on by.

Do it. You will not regret it. I'm excited for the Disney takeover. I am as well. I'll get to go. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah. Are you going to be like super pregnant by that time or no?

No, no, because I'm four months right now. So I'll be six months. Okay. I don't know. That's like super pregnant. Yeah. That means like one now, so I'll be six months. Okay. I don't know. That's like super pregnant. That means like six of the nine months. That's like one drink and like a couple rides. But when I get pregnant, I don't like really blow up.

I'm a pretty small pregnant person. So when I do get real pregnant, it's more like eight months and more towards the end. So I'll be good. All right. She's a veteran at pregnancy now. Yeah. I'm sorry, Eric. We were talking about blankets on the Woody show the other day and I was trying to slip

in. Shout out to blankets by Tracy, but I couldn't get it in. But shout out to blankets by Tracy. T-R-A-C-E-Y keeps me and my little babies warm every single day. So thank you to BlanketsByTracy.com.

Yeah, I would say he's probably been my favorite guest that's ever been in here.

By far. Just so humble and so nice. He even put up with Randy. Randy even stopped him midway through the hallway for a photo. And he was super nice to Randy, of all people. He paid for me and my friend's food in Vegas at his restaurant. Oh, see? What a nice, sweetheart guy. He's so nice. And especially

as a best girlfriend ever. I love Chelsea Huntler. So his first day, I think it was ever of him being in studio, he came into the little board op room and he just gave me a hug randomly. He's like, what's up, brother? I had never met him. I was like, okay,
