That was so creepy and weird. Bread the intro. I am the one they call Tyler.

So we're going to try to keep on introducing ourselves so everybody knows who everyone is but we're gonna continue the saga right off the bat it is tyler okay we put it out there on social media oh boy you're officially locked down you have a girlfriend now yes wow thank you everybody our last podcast we put it out there that you know you were going back and forth on being official not official and all that kind of stuff and we were on vacation we said if you end up

having a girlfriend you better text us in a group chat then we can put it on the what's new pod at what's new pod's instagram page and post it up there while we're on vacation and i guess it happened so it's everything look okay one big thing i was waiting for is that i hadn't met her dad yet so that was one no look. I'm super like old school like that. It's just the way I was raised. Okay. I'm just,

look, look. So you're like, I can't hold your hand. There we go. Okay. Wait, hold on. Let him talk a little bit.

Okay. So it's already getting good. Look, I met her dad and I'm like, all right, cool. Like he likes me. Cause I don't want to get with someone and like their parents hate me.

Like, I mean, that's weird. Yeah. Like, I don't want to do that. So I'm like, all right,

cool. Like he likes me. Like now, now like I feel like I'm good. so the next day we went out the whole day because we went to yeah the stranger things fair over at the santa monica pier um and that's just where i asked i mean so did you get down on one knee on the no i did not oh my god wait did you go to pier burger and be like you shared some fries and go hey no i mean we had pizza but oh did you do it in front of her father too did you bring the whole family

super old school i want to say hey sir it's nice to meet you the the whole like ask the dad thing was that your idea or did you guys both agree to do it because that was like that's like the idea um it was more my idea i mean so she had no idea you were waiting on the approval like i told her that that was one thing and she was actually like really cool about she's like actually really like that and everything because like i said he's arm wrestle for her if i beat you you can't date my daughter if i moonsault you i can date your daughter We'll do pistols at dawn. 20 paces.

Shirts off, Tyler. We're fighting right now. Like I said, I don't want to get into something and their parents hate me. That's weird. I'm really big when it comes to family because I come from a big family. I don't want no beef. I don't want to start it off on a wrong foot or something like that. Heaven forbid they think you're edgy or a bad seed or something and the something and she likes you more let's get back to the pier real quick I want

to know how this happened I took her to like the end of the pier okay that's a long walk and thousand people there yeah no no no no I want to talk about the long walk real quick. Were you gassed, though? No, because when you go to Santa Monica Pier, it's like downhill when you first get there. And then, like, you know, you walk through, yeah, it's not that far.

You were gassed, dude. I got gassed walking back up. You were gassed. I'm going to go ahead and guess Tyler's clothing for the day. It was probably a flannel with one of his typical black shirts. Wrestling shirt. Pretty much what he's wearing right now. If you're walking a long distance

and that, you're going to be sweating, man. You were sweating the other day. You're just walking back and forth. It was hot in here, man. I was under a little bit of stress. It's hot. Okay, but think about how stressed out you must have been asking her out. I was calm, cool, and collected.

Come on, play on, player. I had the ocean breeze keeping me cool. Like, I'm all right. I'm good. Okay, so you got to the end of the pier. Okay. Yeah. Then what?

I just looked at her and said, hey, look. Like, I mean, your brothers like me. Your mom likes me. Your dad likes me. Yeah, it was good? Yeah, pretty much. I said, like, look, we get along great. She knew where I was going because like

the more and more like i started talking like the bigger like her smile kept going yeah okay and said do you want to make this official and she had like a big old smile and she's like yeah how dude online official yet oh you didn't even repost uh the the post that menace had for you on the what's new pod oh yeah should i repost that i mean Menace had for you on the What's New pod. Should I repost that? I mean, okay. Yeah, it said locked down. Oh, okay.

So everybody knows. Okay, no. I'll repost that. I was just wondering. Dude, you know what? I'm always super worried about that, too, because then you put it out there, and then everyone starts chiming in. Yeah.

Look, if WeBull know it's official and the people that like we're close to and that we care about like no it's official that's that's all it matters i mean like i don't i don't really i'm not really into like oh i gotta make it facebook official yeah i know people like jump on right away i yeah on mine i just say i put in a relationship i don't tag spicy nacho because the more people you invite into your relationship to comment on it the more issues you're gonna have which i'll probably just end up doing it like that and even then i'll be like i'll do it eventually yeah i mean that's what i've learned over the years of doing radio because you invite thousands of people hit up your partner at any time to

cause any issues with you oh yeah you know so And there's a lot of crazy people out there. Let's be real. It's a good thing you do want to keep this low-key, and you're not talking about it on a podcast where people listen to it. It's a good thing you want to keep it low-key. I haven't given out any details. So Menace has a nickname or a code word for his girlfriend.

Oh, yeah. Do you have a code name for your girlfriend? Is there anything that she likes? Maybe we can come up with one right now. Yeah. Oh, she likes Vans we can come up with one right now. Oh, she likes Vans and Dodgers. Dodge Van. Van Dodger.

Van Wilder. Van Dodger. Quick on her feet. Her bottom is sin. Van Dodgers is a good start. No, what's that? I'm saying she's quick. I think we had a general idea of what you were trying to rhyme with that. Quick into your heart, man.

Okay. Let's go with that. Quick into your heart. All right. Well, we just want to say congratulations. Thank you. Tyler and Van Dodger. Thank you.

We're very... We'll work on a nickname. I'll think of something. I'll get back to you guys. Okay. Yeah. That'd be the next podcast. We'll leave it on a cliffhanger.

All right. Cool, cool, cool. And congrats to Van Dodger's mom and dad who are listening to this podcast now. Yes, thank you. We have more listeners. I appreciate it. Actually, you know what?

Make it like a list of names, and then we'll choose together. How about that? Not just one. That's cool. Yeah, do like hopefully 10 if you can. Don't run them by her, though. This is for us to, and then it's like, this is the nickname you have yeah okay i'll see what i can do all right cool

all right good so speaking about people out with their girlfriends our buddy randy right here you went to san diego with your girlfriend i did for three days three days in san diego and uh so i was checking social media while we're on vacation and the first thing i saw was i try to check into my hotel room at 8 a.m randy yeah we talked about checking into hotel rooms early and how you can't do that just recently we all know my memory is absolute crap which is why i have this in my hand right now. It's a book of memory mastery. All the listeners see it right now. That's why I just said the title of the book.

That's when you go, hey man, I've been reading this book right here entitled. Yeah, it's what I said. Never mind. What's the name of the book real quick? I talked over you. The Complete Guide to Memory Mastery. I saw this and I was like, dude, i have the worst memory and it's just it's just it's completely solidified over the point that we talked about this and yet i still did it because i was under the impression i was pulling

a complete uh board because bork had a long drive so he left super early and whenever i go places i just go early and so i was like you know what we're gonna wake up at six we're gonna drive to san diego as if it wasn't already a two hour drive because for some reason I was convinced it was gonna be more than that we're gonna get there early we'll settle down we'll figure it out and then my dumb ass rolls up to the hotel at 8am and I'm like I'm here to check in but a check in's not till 4pm

I'm like son of a bitch and that's the worst like when you get somewhere super super early and there's nothing open and you gotta kill all these hours. So what ended up happening? Because I tweeted you back. I go, dude, we just talked about this.

I go, you can try to pull some of the maneuvers I do because I do go to Vegas a lot. And I pulled this trick and I go, excuse me. I know we're here super early because checking is usually about 3 p.m. in Vegas. I go, hey, I'm here super early. Is there any way I can pay to get into a room early? Yeah. And they always go, let me check for you, blah, blah, blah. And they go, oh, don't worry about it.

And then I tip them 20 bucks because then they hook me up. Or if they're like, if they still say, oh, no, you know, sorry, we don't have anything i give them 20 anyways if something opens up call me right away and i usually the most i ever have to wait is like an hour yeah so my girlfriend as you would imagine was not very thrilled when i was like so when we get to the room like uh about that so what we ended up doing was we went to target for a few hours kind of scoped out the store there for what we're gonna get then we went to go eat at a local salvadorian restaurant the best one in san diego so we stayed there for a few hours i did tip him and he called me at 12

p.m and was like hey man we got a room ready for you dope so it worked right yeah four hours so yeah i did yeah i know that still sucks but that's better than you know four in the afternoon i was see that was my thing though because i was I didn't want to be stuck in traffic. I wanted to get there. Obviously, I got there a little too early. You think? Yeah, four hours to blow. But Menace's tip completely paid off.

Give them some cash. Like, hey, man, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know if a room opens up. And like that. So there's whole websites dedicated to this called the $20 tip and tip and like how far that goes when it comes to hotels. It sucks because the $20 tip is usually like the secret handshake where they upgrade your rooms. That has never worked for me ever. I've tried to do the $20 tip and they've handed because they know that what I'm trying to do is get an upgrade on a room. They've handed the $20 back.

They go here. This is yours you know and there's then the super website lists like the hotels that the 20 tip works at doesn't work but we're checking in early i'm telling you the 20 tip does work so go ahead and do that i was gonna ask randy's on a hunt for funko. Yeah. Why would you not just plot along, hey, here's all the targets and Walmart's on the way. Let's just stop. It's a developing obsession that I'm having that I need to rein in a little bit because I'm not, you know, I don't have the financial means to just be dropping mad cash on Funko

Pops left and right. Plus, my girlfriend's kind of like, okay, let's watch the money a bit. You know, don't go crazy overboard because she knows I have zero control, impulse through the roof. You just want to make it rain. Oh, yeah, of course, always. All right, so you've learned. Get a better memory. Stop along the trips.

Don't check in early. And there was something else he had to remember, but I can't remember. Shout out to Harry Lorraine for the complete guide to memory mastery. How many pages have you read? I got it like yesterday. Oh, great. It's just like the time I forgot to read it. I was glancing through the book when he was talking about it.

He's not going to grasp any of this. It's like memory challenges and word lists to help open parts of your brain that you're not fully using. So I don't think he's fully grasping what kind of book he's reading. Challenge accepted, Eric. For some reason, people think you have the reading level of a first grader, but that's not true. No, I'm not questioning your reading level. I'm questioning your ability to do what the book wants you to do. All right, Nick, you were not here when this happened.

I've seen Randy do this a lot over the years that I've known him. This reminds me of the last time he tried to learn Chinese. He was dedicated and it lasted three words, two weeks. I mean, I want you to succeed, but I don't know how easily you'll do it. I appreciate the support, Eric. Thank you. And he can't remember it called Nick.

I know. I know. We've talked about it. I just corrected him. Son of a bitch. All right. Nick Soundway. This book is going to go a long way.

Have no choice. So speaking of hotels, I have a beef recently with hotels. I don't know what is happening. Okay. So my big thing, I stay in a lot of hotels because we're always traveling. And I never have the cleaning people come in. Like I'm cool with the towels. I'm there for like two days.

I don't need people to come in and clean my room it's fine and i always have the do not disturb sign dude the past three out of five hotels there's no do not disturb sign in my room i do not know why this is happening to me because i look at all the other rooms and people have the do not disturb signs. I do not know why this is happening. This recent hotel that I was just at in New York City. No do not disturb sign. I drew one out on a piece of paper and I put it on the door. Why?

What is happening if any hotel workers are listening? Tell me why my rooms do not have a do not disturb sign. I want to create less work for you. is this happening please hit me up at menace on instagram m-e-n-a-c-e follow me by the way why like i i don't you know i know you're a nice person so i know you don't want to do this but here's two easy cheat codes for you one if you see the cleaning lays you go hey i don't have a note like a do not disturb sign or go through their little truck trolley thing and steal one or you know what i'm sorry but if there's like a douchey person on your floor just steal from their door man it's their problem now screw the douchiness yeah i get that sign thank you very much so anyways i was in new york on

vacation shout out to young mich Michael he says hello to everybody if you don't know he left us with Tyler he used to have Tyler's job thanks Michael congrats on starting your new life yeah I think they're out in Belize right now having a good time but I got to hang out in Hartford Connecticut

and check that out it was crazy because driving there from New York City to Hartford, you think there's nothing on the road. It's all trees, just trees, trees, trees. I didn't realize there was actually towns and stuff behind these trees. So I was starving, and I just thought nothing was on the road. So I just drove for hours upon hours.

Do you know what was the trip, though? I was staying in downtown, and there was a mural for Nipsey Hussle. What? Yeah. Really? In Connecticut. I mean, respect. People love Nipsey all around.

I mean, that's crazy, though. Yeah. Was it nice? Was it cool? Yeah, it was really good. You can see it on my Instagram, at menace, on Instagram, M-E-N-A-C-E. And it was a trip because, you you think like nifty hustle he's a big la yeah west coast rapper west coast rapper and then you're in harford connecticut and there's

a big mural for him which is nice that's pretty cool yeah i always felt that like connecticut cut kind of a bad rap just kind of sits there forgotten in the east yeah well it's i mean legit growing up on the west coast i always thought it was just like part of new york city yeah part of new york not even thinking that is another state you know one of the coolest things from when i went out when i went east we went to i went to delaware was how close every state is like yeah it's weird it's a trip because here in california you just keep driving it's california california but out of hours yeah at least it's delaware then you're in Philly then you keep going up north and you keep hitting different states and different cities so dude take a map sometime and cut out California and just put it over the

east coast you're like damn that's how big our state is yeah so then after the wedding I went back to New York and I just realized that shopping in New York is dope. To any people that are super into sneakers or anything like that, shop in New York, shop in London, shop in Japan. It's dope. I don't know why living in Los Angeles that is such trash around here. Do you mean like price-wise or it's hard to find stuff? It's hard. Just the selection.

I get what Matt is saying. I get what Matt is saying. I get what Matt's saying because for a lot of these brands, the flagship places are either London, Tokyo, or New York. And there's a reason, I think, because when you come to Los Angeles, what do you got?

You got Melrose. And Fairfax. Yeah, Fairfax. Rodeo's trash compared to all these other places. I haven't been to Rodeo in years, so I wouldn't know. Even Rodeo, from what I see, is essentially what New York is, plus everything else combined.

Oh, New York is on another level. It's crazy. People don't realize this. You can get from point A in LA to point B, and it should take you 10 minutes, but in reality it takes you an hour to get there, whereas in New York everybody just walks there. They get to where you need to go.

Everyone I've spoken to who's from New Yorkork says they know they don't own cars like nobody owns a car there when they come to california they have to learn how to drive well also i think they care a lot more about presentation there with how everything looks it's like yeah out in cal like west coast california side i've noticed that like anything that i go get which you know is dumb geek stuff i'm like man all these places look trashy, man. And the selection is kind of bare. New York, I was going to ask you, I saw that Nintendo has a store there. And it's massive.

It has the coolest stuff ever. I know. And everything's always stocked. Why do you think that it is the way it is? What makes New York that much different than Los Angeles? Why can they have stores and we can't? I think there's probably no central location.

There's downtown LA, but no one's ever in really downtown LA. I mean, they're trying to do a resurgence of downtown LA and put a lot of apartment buildings there and get people to move back downtown. But when I moved here five years ago, it was

dead, man. you go down and you walk down the main street there's no one there and that would never be like that in new york or these other cities there would be constantly people on the street everything is too scattered in los angeles i think because you can go from melrose like getting something from i don't know like the the rip and dip store but then you want to go hit like the louis store and you got to go all the way to bever Hills. It doesn't... Also, like what I'm saying with Times Square, you have Times Square, which is always

going to be what it is, whereas places, specifically Los Angeles, they build up, rank goes up, and everything just goes away. It dies down. You have a moment where early 90s, Melrose was a thing, and it's dead. Hollywood Boulevardvard built back up

is dead yeah go down there nothing if you go to if you go to downtown LA like hardcore downtown LA with the fashion district and all that stuff it's weird because you have a lot of these older looking buildings like these antique buildings but the stores that are built into them are just these random stores that are there they come and go I think it'd be a great idea if they did something like that but just a bigger central place that people would go. And it's so funny. I was talking to our good friend Alex Mack, who has the Triola podcast. Check it out.

If you live in Des Moines, you've got to check out the Triola podcast. And I was on the phone with him in New York. And we're really big into sneakers. And I was talking to him. And I said, hey, man, I know you're visiting. He's coming by in two weeks by the way. So everybody get ready to hang out with Alex. And I go, man, I'm sorry, dude. When you come to LA, like the selection is going to be trash. And he goes, dude, I'm in Des Moines, man. It's going to be, I'm going to be all right in LA. It's going to be okay. You know? And I think about that because when I was hanging out with him in Des Moines,

he goes, yeah, we have one Apple store in the entire state. Oh, that's right. In the entire state. You know, sometimes it's like when you know where you're going, you can figure out what you want to get there. You know, like there's a market for something, and you're like, look, if I'm leaving Des Moines, maybe I just want to hit Apple stuff. I could just hit that in LA, and that's what I want to pick up and stuff.

I went to Roswell. I'm like, I'm picking up alien stuff because there's nowhere to buy alien stuff anywhere, man. Dude, your pictures were dope. Thanks, man. At the Bortcast on Instagram. I love how everything he went to was UFO themed. Like, that city owns up there. McDonald's was UFO themed.

Exactly, man. They owned it. it dude that was the dopest is that on at the broadcast on Instagram yeah it is I'll put I'll repost it okay dude that McDonald's was dope and the inside like had all the McDonald's characters all dressed up like in space UFO style the Dunkin Donuts had a giant statue the streetlights were alien heads that's awesome and like every place had like murals of aliens or like Domino's had a knight that was an alien. It was just super cool, man.

Like they embraced it. And everywhere you went, oh, hey, do you want an alien t-shirt? Do you want an alien this, alien that? Which reminds me, I did have something for Menace. Really? And I actually did have something for Randy too.

Sorry, Tyler and sorry suck it well you know yes I mean let's start with Randy I got Randy's on my travels through Arizona really I believe I was in drugan drugan I can't pronounce the name you're asking me out but Drago you went to Germany Drago Yavo Bundesliga so I stopped at this place because I kept seeing billboards for it on the road on the 10 freeway it was called the thing and in 100 miles you had to stop at the thing

well I didn't get anything for the thing from Randy but for him but what I did get was a can because Randy likes to do challenges a can of challenge of ghost chili yes I want to act excited but I'm genuinely scared it says hotness right? A can of challenge of ghost chili. Yes! I want to act excited, but I'm

genuinely scared. It says hotness one million shoe. I don't know what shoe means. I don't know. You sure you don't want to save that for a prank? Oh, I think it might be a really good prank. That might be illegal to prank someone. India's

boot golakia. I can't pronounce this. But anyways, in 2006, this was confirmed the ghost chilies of hottest chili in the world. So here you go, Randy. Here is a can of it. But for Menace. Ooh. Yes, I love gifts.

Menace, my wife Shastakola actually found this. We were in a store. It was a store that we took the photos with all the alien props with and all the scenery. And I know you're really close with Dildar. Yes, Dildar. The alien that came from... Okay, so I don't know if you could find him or if you could

share this with him, but we found this. It is a bottle of Old Space after probe lotion. What? So when you're done probing, you got to lotion it up. Rip. I love it. I have no idea what it is.

I'm going to put it on our at what's pod Instagram page. At what's pod. Sorry, I left the prices on everything. But I don't know if it's supposed to smell better. I don't know if it's supposed to burn. I don't know if it's supposed to leak on the floor.'t know if it's supposed to burn. I don't know if it's supposed to leak out of the floor. Whatever it's supposed to do, I hope Dildar enjoys it. I'm sure he will.

We'll hit him up. I'm supposed to plant these. And apparently, when you plant them, it gives you the seeds that came with the can. And it's supposed to give me a magic lotto number. So it says here, plant the seeds, numbers ingrained on the growing plant. Use your secret numbers to play the lottery. Oh, so it's planting chili. I thought it was like actual chili.

I think these are edible too, but the primary use for here, it says to plant them, but I'm tripping out because it says if you plant the seeds, a number's supposed to appear on your plant. Really? And it's supposed to be your magic lotto number. I might make you rich. Or you might kill me. If you win, you owe him half immediately yeah i'll be dead probably after i eat the stupid things but you can have whatever you want i guess thank you so much thank you bro enjoy so while all

this was happening everybody's was on vacation um brett myself i don't know if randy was in town but i know tyler and nick soundwave were definitely in town major earthquakes happening in los angeles all right who wants to go first death surrounds me that's all i'm gonna say okay what that sounds like a tyler response wow what a great thing to say okay with your new girlfriend yeah no i was uh i was actually moving this weekend so i was i lived in northridge i don't know how many people outside California have heard of the Northridge quake, huge Northquake, in 92, I think it was.

So I lived in Northridge on the fault line for years and years and years, when I went to college, post-college, whatever. I move away from Northridge, my first three days in my new apartment, shakes. No way. Two earthquakes, two, three earthquakes, yeah. And it was pretty wild, man.

I was just sitting there for the first one, I was in bed, actually, and yeah. And it was pretty wild, man. I was just sitting there for the first one, I was in bed, actually, and then I thought it was my fiancé coming and messing with me, because I was looking out to the opposite direction, and I roll over and I notice the bed's still kind of rolling, and I'm like, okay, nobody else is in the room right now, and I kind of look through, I'm like, I think we're having an earthquake, and then sure enough, probably 15

seconds of kind of like a rollercoaster up and down kind of feel. The second one was a little more intense because it was more like a shaky side to side. So the first one was on 4th of July. Right. Yeah, I think so. And then the second one was what?

The day after? Two days after or something like that? I think it was two days after. The first one was like six, a six. I think it was a six, four. A six, nine. No, no, it was a six, nine. Two big ones.

And it's funny, you know, I was in the 89 earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. Luckily, I was in the middle of the field when I was a kid. It was after school. And it was like a jolt and shaking. And it was shaking so much and vibrating. And it looked like movies where dirt was shooting out of the ground. It was insane. But the rolling ones, it's kind of weird because you don't really understand what's going on for a second.

It's kind of like if anyone's ever been on a waterbed. You're kind of just sitting there, and then you don't really notice. At first, you kind of just feel like you get a little bit of a head rush. You kind of feel like you're dizzy, and you're headed. And then you're kind of like, wait, this is kind of hanging out. And then you notice other things in the apartment or wherever you're at moving a little more and you're like well is this still happening so what that was like the first one you know kind of rolling the second one was more side to side yeah it was more shaky a lot more movement on the walls stuff like that so so tyler you were

in town as well yeah the first one i didn't even feel because i was on the freeway so i was on the 560 interchange and the only reason i knew we had an earthquake i was on the freeway so i was on the 560 interchange and the only reason i knew we had an earthquake happened to be listening to talk radio and the guy paused mid-sentence and said hey we're having an earthquake right now and i was like oh wow really so i looked down at my phone and my mom texts me like in all caps like are you okay i called her back dude we have an earthquake she's like yeah you didn't feel i said no i'm on the freeway which i mean like okay it's good to know that the freeway looks like crap but it's pretty sturdy so that makes me feel good there was a second one the next day on july 5th at about five in the morning i was here

at the station monitoring our alt station and i thought i kicked the desk because the desk moved okay that's a little weird for it to be moving that much i stood up oh hey the whole building is rolling right now. So we're having another one. Nothing happened. Then the rest of the day, just go by doing laundry later that night. And I throw some stuff in the dryer and I hear one of the cabinets in the kitchen creak open.

Okay, that's weird. Maybe one of the dogs hit it. I go up. I'm like, okay, the dog's not there. And I'm like, oh, the house is rolling. We're having another one. Like, oh, my sweet Jesus, this is how I die. Why do you go to death, man?

I mean, which is funny because Randy was in town for at least one of them. I was here for both. Oh, really? Yeah, I was here at the station for the first one. His phone call to me was amazing, by the way, because I see a text coming through. We're having another earthquake from my family. Next thing I know, I see Randy calling me.

Hey, man, what's up? He's like, dude, we're having an earthquake. I think it's the big one. I just went in. I just went in and hit it in the doorway. I was hoping it was the big one. I want to get it over with, man. And you asked me why I'm bracing for death, and Randy's over here.

I think it's the big one. We're about to die. Well, it wasn't in an epicenter area where it's heavily populated. I mean, there was severe damage there was about 100 million dollars damage but it could have been billions upon billions oh you put that 7.1 on the san andreas fault like we're having serious problems honest honest question after everything that transpired did you go online to look up earthquake stuff on youtube look at videos oh yeah to reshare because i do social media for the show.

No, I meant like, I meant like just looking up worst earthquakes or what would happen if a big one. Oh no, I didn't go that down that rabbit hole. Which really, I do do that,

but I was on vacation. So yeah, I'm going to stop doing that. If I was here, I would definitely go through like the rabbit hole of like preparing things, you know? Yeah. You know,

exit strategy, how to get out of the area hole of like preparing things you know yeah you know exit strategy how to get out of the area and things like that i just have the idea in my head how can i get all these action figures into one bin really fast and run you should you know what you should do you should have a shelf designated for when the earthquake hits like that's your go-to shelf everything else i already do okay i already do so I was on vacation and I didn't get to go down that rabbit hole but what I did do is I started like looking a little bit for wedding planning so if you don't know I did get engaged apparently still pretty big news for people and Bort you're the only married man in the room. Olive. I kind of already don't like it.

Dude, it sucks. Why does it suck so much? Dude, it sucks because there's like all this pressure from a lot of other people that it's unnecessary. And it's funny because you mentioned you went to young Michael's wedding and I was trying to talk to young Michael about this when he was planning a year ago. He had a year and a half to plan his wedding.

I had three months. Yeah. Because of like just, he had a year and a half to plan his wedding. I had three months. Yeah. Because of like just, you know, life and everything. And here's the best advice I can give. If you're going to plan anything, you're the only two people that matter. Everybody else just gets to be there. Yeah.

And that's it. I think I do have that mentality about everything. I just, I don't want to get too many people involved. I'm telling you, dude, so we have an idea of a venue that we want to use. Right. I have gone through their social media. I have contacted different email addresses. I have called on the phone.

Okay. Been there. And I want to give you money to give me this place they will not hit me back i had the same problem and this is a major company that i want to give money to and there's nothing i have no response i actually had the same thing which was funny because it was an actual wedding chapel and it was super hard getting a hold of them i just had to keep hounding them and hounding them and going there and doing everything. It's just like, come on, why not?

Let's just do this. And if you have a good idea, stick to it because you're going to keep changing your idea and be like, okay, what about this place or this place? What about this alternate place? And you get so big that at one point we were looking at it, we're going to be $25,000 in the hole. And we cranked it back super massively. And we're like, no, no, no. Let's just go back to simple, exactly what we wanted. Because we spent literally like six months going in a big circle back to what we wanted.

Yeah. So I would just keep hounding them. It already sucks. Yeah, I know. Have you thought about like photographers? Are you going to videographer? Are you going to have food guests? The major issue is just trying to lock down this venue who, again, apparently doesn't like money.

I know you don't want to say the venue, but dude, you just got to keep. Do you need to send people? Do you need to send your muscle, Randy? So I kind of have this idea. So this company that I'm trying to get through to, they have stock that you can buy. And like it's like twenty dollars a share or whatever. OK, I'm thinking of maybe just buying a share so i can get their corporate contact information to hit them up like yo your people suck just buy a share and then legally you're like part owner so they have to listen to you like i'm part owner of this place so i'm going to be here at this time, and now you have to legally let me in. Yeah, give it to me. I got a better idea.

Okay, $20 a share, right? Okay. Now, all of us really like Menace. Menace has been good to us. What if we all just bought $100 worth of shares? That's five owners that are all attacking. And then we'll fire everybody who didn't listen to Menace. And then Brett and I will be like, sure, you can use this.

But it already sucks. I got one question. This is going to break my heart, though. Are you telling me you're not going to get married at the Pokemon Chapel in Japan? Is that off the books? I mean, if you guys are willing to fly out and do it. I'm down.

I mean, I don't know if I can copy you on the flights. No, no, no. It's pretty expensive. I'm good just to go to Japan. I'm down. I just want to see it happen. Like, no, no. It's pretty expensive. I'm good just to go to Japan. I'm down. I just want to see it happen. Like, I'm good. That would be awesome.

Hell yeah. Can we be on carry-ons or something? Yeah. And don't worry. I know people have been asking and asking. Still working on that Alaskan cruise, everybody. Still working on it. I've talked about it today with people.

And hopefully we can get that done. Cruises have become like the hot topic on this show. I know. It's the cruise podcast. We were talking about your cruise before. We were talking about my mom just booked a cruise. We're trying to grab a cruise. Like cruises are the thing, man. I've been telling people for years. They're like, oh, that's

for old people. You know, don't go on cruises. Again, you're not going to have any fun. Cruises are the best. I'm telling you because all-inclusive you don't have to spend extra money if you don't want to you get to go to multiple places that you never go to like i would never like book to go stay at a resort in honduras because i i know nothing about honduras but i will take a cruise there and i go check it out for the day and see how awesome it is and tell people about it because honduras does rule i knew nothing about it until i took

a cruise people get hung up on the boat aspect of it i think but then they don't realize what's on the boat like the amenities on the boat like i first of all the food is unreal like i didn't take a single bad bite of food for like the days I was on the cruise. You got three course meals for dinner. You got unlimited buffet whenever you want. You got great drinks, great breakfast, everything. Then those drink cards, man. The drink cards get you. You just swipe and swipe and swipe.

The next thing you know, you're toasted and it's 11 a.m. for some reason. I know this last cruise ship that I was on had nine restaurants on it. That's not even like the common area that you can go to go grab food that doesn't even include the buffet nine different restaurants you got pools on top of pools you got casinos you got a bar in every corner we're bowling i saw man so my wife shasta cola she's been on cruises like her whole life and she's always told me to go on a cruise. I've never been on one. And on the way back from Roswell, guess what she's saying?

Hey, what's going on with the cruise? Has Menace updated you? Yeah. Because we need to go on a cruise. We'll go to Alaska anywhere. Let's do it. We need that food. So I'm working on it.

Hopefully it'll happen. Also, while I was on vacation, I started looking at the numbers of our podcast, you know, because I'm obsessed with that. And last time I shouted out a bunch of different cities that are listening to the podcast. Now, this time, I want to shout out different countries that are listening to this podcast. What?
