He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the video show, boring show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. We are joined by our friends, Eric and Randy, who are coming to us live from downey california and just over yonder in whittier california would be our friend tyler aka heavy

t and in covina california is our girl julie ann and guys i guess somebody still needs to recover from coachella tyler he just woke up how you doing doing Tyler are you feeling okay too much walking I just saw you know the funny thing is like as we're talking I just looked at my phone and I just saw all the texts from you guys and I'm like oh boy like I just saw Brett said they are very explicit 11 a.m dude dude I had to call you multiple times. What are you doing? So we have one half of the Safari boys back from Coachella. It was an awesome weekend. Tyler got his own room, and he was very excited. He was treating it like he was staying at the Four Seasons. Dude, life-changing.

You don't even know, dude. Eric, I'm going to be real with you. I could never go back. I'm sorry, dude. I'm not going back. You're going to go back next time I'm going to be real with you. I could never go back. I'm sorry, dude. I'm not going back. You're going to go back next time I'm there. I like that Tyler has lived in his own big boy apartment. Not one, but two, right?

In Texas. Moved his butt all the way out there. Had his own place, his own everything. This is his best moment of his life, getting his own room in your house, Metis. Probably because Tyler still sleeps in a twin bed. Well, maybe that. I definitely do not still sleep in a twin bed. his best moment of his life getting his own room in your house medis probably because tyler still sleeps in a twin bed oh maybe that definitely do not still sleep in a twin bed let's calm down but he experienced what i've been preaching guys mattresses from walmart serda dude best investment you can do like 400 bucks versus you go to other mattress stores or thousands of dollars. Great value, right, Tyler?

They can support you. Yeah. Enough said. There you go. Certified, Tyler. It was kind of crazy. So Nacho was telling us basically how you guys set up each room because you've definitely added more decoration in the room

since the last time we've been there. And she's like, yeah, we got the mattresses from Walmart. We got the pillows, all the bedding from Target and i'm like damn you guys like this is actually really good so yeah because that past couple times you've come by the house it's been empty in the guest rooms there's nothing there just just a bed but yeah we've added a little uh decor there and had a great time though all weekend. And Tyler starting off strong, guys. This guy wakes up and this is an all day music festival. Tyler's taking shots.

He's drinking multiple drinks just before we're about to go to the festival. Tyler's already like going hard out the gate. And I'm like, dude, this guy's not going to last. But Tyler, who looks out for you and pays for those pedicabs so you don't have to walk all the way. Oh, my God. The pedicab person. I feel so bad. Like, did you tip him extra?

Oh, yeah. So here's the thing is I've learned this from last year. Just take the damn pedicab. Just do it. Yeah. I hate walking. Like, here's the thing is that I have incredibly flat feet. Yeah. I hate walking. Here's the thing. I have incredibly flat feet. Okay?

So it's more walking on the gravel where the first pedicab completely passes. Yeah. It's rough. Yeah. Once we get into the festival, you're walking on the grass and everything. It's not that bad. Okay. If you don't know, a pedicab is basically a bicycle that has these ones have six seats on them right tyler and

randy get on it and then also i get on it and then we you know we have a nacho and then uh randy's lady and the bike person's like hey we gotta shift away a little bit guys he's like trying to be nice about it. But it's like, yeah, we got to move some people around here. But luckily, those pedicabs are half electric, too. So like those guys aren't killing themselves too much. He was afraid that the thing would flip over. I did not know that they were half electric.

I literally thought that was all muscle power. Like that is the strongest legs on this planet. Yeah, because they always have like the tiniest little guys driving those things. Yeah, of course, because they're electric. Yeah, I just thought they were super strong. Do you think a guy can pull me, Tyler, Randy, and two other people? Yeah, if it's Dave Bautista.

Yeah. No way. Now we know. We got into the festival and had a good time. Tyler, any highlights for you? The first night, Peso Pluma was really, really good. That was actually a really fun show to watch. And Anita came out. That was huge.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. See, the second night, no doubt, was really good. Fat Joe. I went and saw Fat Joe. That was pretty cool, too. Yeah. The third one, we went to go see kid cuddy and we're yeah this this was kind of crazy yeah so we went to go see kid cuddy and we're way in the back so we can't really

see the stage but we can see the screen and everything and he's playing one of his biggest hits he's playing pursuit of happiness all of a sudden after the song the whole thing just abruptly ends and we're just kind of looking around saying what's what's going on you see the stage hands come out they start collecting like all the set pieces and everything and we're just like what what the hell is going on guy walks right by us he's like oh kid cudi broke his leg and we're like what do you mean he broke his leg and so we get out of that crowd we We finally get some signal for our phone. Sure enough, there's a video of him, not even like rock star jumping, like, oh, I'm going to jump like into this crowd or whatever. He's just trying to get to the ground, right?

And so he's jumping off the stage. It's about a seven foot drop. I've never seen anything like that. I've never seen an artist hurt themselves in the middle of their show like oh i have that's wild oh yeah and then the other highlight for you that you really wanted to see was uh taking back sunday right that was the whole the band that you wanted to see the whole weekend yeah taking back sunday was really cool it's just the kid cutting thing was right after so that's forever just in my memory that overshadows everything there's a big highlight for you you know one of my highlights was after was it the

first night or the second night but we started making tortillas or like quesadillas with cheese egg and hot dogs inside of them nice so okay i like it Okay. You just opened up another can of worms because. I know you're about to get to the debate real quick, but they actually messed up and ordered a Uber that only fit four people, right? So I said, you know what? You guys just take the Uber and I'll just walk home. Okay. So it took me like 15 minutes to walk home. And within that 15 minutes, there is a pile of quesadillas on the kitchen table. But then you guys started going back and forth on something.

What were you guys talking about? Okay, first off, did we or did we not eat all those quesadillas? Yeah, we crushed them. Yes, we did. Exactly. I was going to say, I think you underestimate the power of their hunger menace by their powers combined. So here's the debate. You get one tortilla.

You put the cheese in. You fold it. And that's your quesadilla. Yeah. I've been raised as in you get one tortilla. You put a bunch of cheese in. You get another tortilla to put on top of it. And then you make it that way.

And that's your quesadilla. Yeah. And we went with this big old debate that like, oh, the way that I've been doing it with two tortillas is apparently super wasteful. Yeah. But I feel that the other way is done more than the double tortilla. The more common.

If you look at Taco Bell and everything like that, it's all folded in half. Well, yeah, because we're poor. We realize we can't use tortillas as much as we want want to that's a little bit of a difference that's fast food i see i'm with you yeah shockingly i'm with you a higher end restaurant will do the double tortilla if you get into like a lower one even your mom and pop they'll do a half tortilla to save money yeah either way it's still a quesadilla. We got it. Now, I don't even need to ask Julianne. I know she has FOMO.

But Eric, FOMO this year from not going to Coachella. Yes or no? Yeah, definitely. I mean, I do FOMO whenever you guys are doing anything without me. But Coachella takes it to a different level. But I watch a lot of it on my couch with my dog, drinking a beer. So there is something definitely nice about, okay, turning it off and going right to bed and not having to walk home that's pretty nice you know what i didn't even

know you can do that yeah they stream it every year on youtube you can watch it and i didn't know that the stream is incredible right eric yeah it's really good i mean they have one for the majority of the stages for the majority of the shows like the big ones the closers and stuff like that per stage um but yeah man it was pretty nice it was like my dog was i think my dog was getting annoyed because it was like 10 30 and we're watching kasoffelstein yeah industrial techno boom boom boom in my front room my dog's like look at me she's like why the f are we awake right now yeah what is this can you hop around like on youtube like can you choose like which band or dj you want to see like feeds isn't there like three or four different feeds yeah yeah yeah they have like i think i want to say maybe like four channels usually and then it's like you have

your sahara your outdoor theater the main stage and stuff like that you don't have like yuma and like some of the other stages but yeah no i mean there's enough to get me to get my fix i guess you could say yeah my only feedback about coachella that they need to get a grip on this and it sucks because um it's starting to happen more and more every year is the exit let's say to the vip and then even general mission people have to deal with a little bit it's the freaking uber scam private driving stuff so if you're leaving vip you are swarmed by all these Uber drivers who are supposed to be doing an Uber ride, but they leave their cars in the Uber lot. And then they go to the front of the VIP and they go private driver and they ask for four to six hundred dollars to drive you home. Right.

And I'm telling you, like, there's so many of them. It looked like a movie. They're holding up all little screens and you can barely even walk through them to get to the uber lot and then once you get to the uber lot like 70 of the cars are empty because they're all up front trying to get more money you'll find like a couple uber drivers that are legit and then they'll still like get you out of there which is what we did but even general mission people have to deal with that too. As they're walking through there, they're getting hassled by all these like want to be private driver guys. Yeah.

And it's private property that the festival is happening on. They got to get those guys out of there, dude. They're really aggressive. And they talk ish to people when they say they don't want to ride. It's terrible. I think they asked Randy, like if he wanted to ride and he said no and the

guy straight up came back was like what you can't afford it it was like okay dude they're probably like hey there's a guy who looks like a chump let's get 150 bucks out of him it looks like a guy who wastes a lot of money on the daily it looks like a guy doesn't want to walk real quick i will say there was one other thing i wanted to bring up there was a lot of kids that i saw this year for some reason i don't know why there i saw a lot of people with strollers personally for me it's a little annoying because i do i don't want if i'm going to come back to gochella i don't want there to be a bunch of kids like that's just me number one but number two crossing the line if you are going to bring your kid i you know, it is what it is.

You do you. I just request one thing. We saw this when we saw Sublime. Also, great set, by the way. We saw this when we saw Sublime. There's this chick dancing with, like, her three-year-old. That's fine. Nothing's wrong with it.

As far as I could tell, put some ear protection on your kid, please. Oh, my gosh. Are you serious? Yeah. If you watch the video I put up on Instagram, you could see the chick dancing with the kid during Sublime. As far as I could tell, this kid did not have earplugs of any kind. So, like, do not ruin your kid's hearing. Do not be that person.

Like, Sublime had this weird dog barking intro that was so freaking loud that it almost like blew out my ears and i wasn't even standing like right in front of the stage it was so weird and like over distorted it was bad look at tyler caring about kids he must have one of his own on the way yeah there must be kids out there no no somewhere out there some kids out there uh actually i'll skip to the next subject because all right that's what I was going to talk about is baby updates. Eric, how many days you got? Days? I'm a month away.

Under a month, guys. I'm like from yesterday. It's May 22nd, so 30-something. I like round numbers, so I go weeks. Yeah, four weeks from yesterday. Damn. Yeah, Nancy? I'm ready, man. I want this little dude so I go weeks. Yeah. Yeah, four weeks from yesterday. Damn. Yeah, Nancy? I'm ready, man.

I want this little dude to be here already. Yeah. I got enough crap around my apartment that's just taking up space. It might as well have a purpose, right? That's true. For sure. Julianne, how many days you got? I have seven weeks left.

I'm actually going to be eight months on Friday. Wow. Yep, seven weeks. That's it. She's out of there. Babies. Dude, I got invited to another baby shower. Tyler's.

Not Tyler's. Another friend of mine. Me too. Me too. I'm like, damn, I'm going broke. Got to buy all these gifts all the time. Yeah, another co-ed baby shower, which, Eric, I used to be against the co-ed baby shower but i had a lot of fun at yours so hopefully a lot of people like had to like reaffirm like re like check in

and make sure it was co-ed like a lot of my buddies from college and stuff like why am i getting this i don't have a girl like there's no girl i'm like whatever you're out and um because there are still yeah like where it's just only the women and stuff i'm like man i'm gonna be there i want some dudes to talk to what the hell yeah thank you yeah because it's just only the women and stuff. I'm like, man, I'm going to be there. I want some dudes to talk to. What the hell? Yeah. Thank you. Cause it's your first one, your first one, you always kind of want to be involved in it. Um,

your second one, I don't think it's like as dire to want to be there, but yeah, the first one, you got to make it co-ed because it's about the dad too. You know, even though I always say I make the baby all by myself because I'm the one brewing it.

But I mean, let's be honest. Let's be honest. You guys, I guess we're there too. And the baby all by myself because i'm the one brewing it but i mean let's be honest let's be honest you guys i guess were there too when the baby was made so you could be there at the shower we put in our work you know what i'm saying yeah for 30 seconds we put in our pumps well yeah it's a baby season man so many babies coming through um now totally off topic i know that you guys are into this i went to the puente hills mall which is the home of the back to the future mall that you could uh see in the back to the future movie it is pretty empty

i would say 90 of the stores are closed. Yeah. But I did a little video on it. I put it on my Instagram, at menace, M-E-N-A-C-E. And I said, let's look at the positives. And there is stores open there. Some of our favorites, the Lids, Hot Topic. Hot Topic had killer deals.

I got some awesome shirts. I got two for less than $20. And then, you know what is really cool about this mall? This is why they need to put some money into it because I think they can turn around. That round one bowling alley that they have there is super cool with all the different claw machines that they have and all the different games. Like, that's super legit. They have AMC right there. And apparently there's, like, some other area that has, like, batting cages and trampolines or something i didn't see it yeah but i was told about it dude show some love to

puente hills mall because guess what all this stuff is gonna go away and then you'll be like oh man i i mean i used to i missed the mall i used to have things to do on the weekends and go outside and now all i have is where I live because none of these things exist anymore because your bitch ass stayed inside or you bought everything online and then you didn't support brick and mortar. Yeah, yeah, true. I went to the Puente Hills Mall a couple years ago

before they put the round one in and just seeing the, like there was a couple more stores there than what you described, Menace, but the AMC was next level good it looked brand new it was fresh it was clean it looked awesome why are there not more stores here but it also is special it's from back to the future it's like the northridge mall it has scenes from terminator 2 in it how do you let this mall die you can't it's in a prime area too and then by the way i said in the video hacienda heights because i was

doing something like 700 feet away which was in hacienda heights but i know the mall is in the city of industry i apologize i made a mistake one person pointed it out everybody else was cool about it because they understand it's like right on the edge the city but i'm like how is this mall dead i don't get it uh it looked like though from the old signs the city. But I'm like, how is this mall dead? I don't get it. It looked like, though, from the old signs that were still up, it looked like it really got affected by the pandemic. Like a lot of the businesses got shut down. Yeah. I know that was part of it,

but I feel like this is one mall where ownership was more the problem because I look at the other ones. Like Brea Mall is really good. Cerritos Mall is really good cerritos mall is really good yeah like there's good malls around the area downey is pretty good too there's good malls around my area just pointy hills there's just nothing and it's kind of sad to see because i remember when i was a kid that was the closest mall to us so that's where we would go like i'm old enough to remember when there was a circuit city in that thing nice yeah it's it's really kind of sad to see how far it's fallen but you can still put more stuff i mean the fact

that there's a round one in there like no no you can't yeah and people say yeah the round one gets popping on the weekends oh yeah i've seen that it gets a little busy on the weekend um also that place with the batting cages is right next door where the old Babies R Us used to be. Dude, my mom just found out that Babies R Us and Toys R Us are not even a thing anymore. She's like, what? They're closed since when? Where have you been? Only in America. If you go to Canada, they're still alive and well.

I went to the Philippines and they saw Toys R Us. Oh, they're in the Philippines. Supig Bay, where you at? Go to another country to get toys! Stupid. What's killing this stuff it's online shopping right but even online shopping the convenience of buying something getting it the next day is super rare now right yeah even even amazon you have to like hit a

certain quota just to get next day delivery but like a lot of these stores too and this is where they suffer from the pandemic like even big box stores this is where people go in and they buy everything right that you would want to go to the store for and then you can't get it yeah or they try to price out by like a couple bucks you're like dude i just lost the video game store in the mall now i just lost the toy store in the mall now you're like but they had all the cool stuff yeah they had the better stuff sucked but i still say go into that mall and just you know experience it one last time at least go to the puente hills mall and just take a picture with the twin pines sign from back to the future is there you can take a picture like like a lot of people do those polaroid shots where like hey this is a scene in this movie and then here's the background. You go take a picture with where the DeLorean

goes back in time. It's right there in the mall parking lot. It's kind of fun. You can ride your skateboard down it. It's cool. Yeah, do it. All right. I'm going to go into an email and then go into food news because this email is regarding food news. You can email the podcast at writethepod

at gmail.com. That's writethepod at gmail.com. And's right. The pod at gmail.com. And this email says subject line, dumb ass Tyler. And this is referring to a couple of podcasts ago where I was talking about all these different franchises that were launched in California, like In-N-Out Burger or McDonald's, like things that have just blown up Panda Express all over the country, right? And Tyler chimes in, he goes, do you know what place started in California that's all over the place? Krispy Kreme. And I was like, huh, that doesn't sound right to me. I don't think it's Krispy Kreme, but hey, whatever. I'm from Northern California. Maybe it was a Southern California thing before that. I could have been wrong, but I just moved on.

But we got this email from John Kelly, and John Kelly writes, Dumbass Tyler, hey Menace, and the rest of the gang, just wanted to call Tyler out for being his typical dumbass self. On your last podcast, he falsely claimed that Krispy Kreme started in La Habra. However, it's not true. That was just the first California location that opened in 1999. Krisry Cream was actually founded in North Carolina

back in 1937. 37? Don't ever trust anything Tyler says ever. Idiot. Moron. God, you're so dumb. Okay, well, first off, my reply to that is, number one, I appreciate the correct

info. Second, thank you for giving Eric, number one, I appreciate the correct info. Second, thank you for giving Eric more ammo against me. Love that for me. Third, 37. Okay, I did not realize it was that old. That's crazy. So we're coming, so we're 2024, so we're looking at, what, 87 years? 87 years.

So not out of California, like the topic was. We're talking about big food chains that launched in California that went nationwide. Like IHOP out of Burbank, California, where we're at least where Brett and I are standing right now. All right. You want to get in some food news? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Food news. Trader Joe's adds a new bake at home organic garlic bread.

For the summer one is peach and one is lime all in or all out uh the peach one maybe the lime one that just sounds gross i'm the opposite i think i would try the lime one the peach one nah nah all right i'm willing to try it eric i'm gonna need your star Starbucks expertise on this one. Did you ever get your hands on a Stanley Starbucks cup? Because I know they were hot, and I know that you're a big cup collector. Did you get one? The first one, it was red. Did you see it?

I saw them. My wife is into the Stanleys. I really don't care about them, whatever. I just need a mug that keeps my water cold. But I'm sure my mom and my sister are hawking them. They're huge on anything Starbucks. My mom looks like she's running a damn bed and breakfast with all the mugs and crap she has. Personally, I don't care.

I still got my OG Hydro Flask and stuff, the original. You know, hype train Stanley mug. Well, they're launching a new color. Be ready. The new Sky Blue quencher. Stanley and Starbucks collaboration. Last time, there was like fistfights over this stuff. And they're also selling for seven times more than retail price. So we know if we want one of these, you know who's going to be flipping these.

The person that's not on the podcast right now because he's trying to track them down. His name is Randy. And it says they're going to be out just in time for Mother's Day, guys. Oh, wow. Randy's camped out outside right now. I do know for a fact that some certain Starbucks locations have completely stopped selling cups because they were having trouble with too many people just trying to hoard them all. I like the shiny ones, the ones that look like they're bedazzled. Like during COVID, I was all about getting those Starbucks cups now.

I don't really care. I don't even own a Stanley. I got one for my kid, but that's about it. Me and my wife actually have to downsize. We have so many effing coffee mugs. Yeah. I got to make room for baby bottles dude it's we have too many coffee mugs um tyler you're gonna like this our friends at 85 degrees bakery i was talking with them the other day and apparently they do stuff with the angels i said that you would probably be interested in go hanging out with them at an angels game so they said they would be interested he's not an angels fan oh yeah i'm actually no i'm actually going to the game tonight with my mom and my brother. I will see. He's come back around.

Are the Texans playing? The Astros there? I've been to one game where I went to the home opener where they played Boston. They're playing Baltimore tonight. I'm going again on Friday when they play Minnesota. And then I'm going again next Tuesday

for bobblehead night when they play Minnesota, and then I'm going again next Tuesday for bobblehead night when they play Philadelphia. All right. Getting back into it a little bit. God. Well, you said your goal was to at least go to four games this year, right? More games just in general. I think last year I only went to two. Okay.

So, yeah, I'm trying to definitely go to a couple. Especially since I'm not joking, tickets are dirt cheap, right? We are on the field level third baseline a little closer to the foul pole but we're fourth row from the field the tickets were 20 bucks a piece these tickets are dirt cheap being back when the dodgers before like when the mccourt owned them i mean i did the same thing i bought like a row of tickets for like the the service fees on seat geek back then were more than what i spent on the tickets i bought a row of tickets so it's like i just who wants to go and i just went with a bunch of buddies how are the dodgers these days i know woody just went

on friday to a game and they didn't do well apparently they're struggling they're pitching his butt right now i mean all their good pitches are hurt so it's a little bit of a duct tape job right now but i mean they're still i think what first in the division they've won like 13 games and they're they're i mean they're winning with their b squad pitching right now you know june yeah july their pitching will come back around and just get to the playoffs win an fb world series and none of this stuff matters at the beginning of the year so you're keeping busy you're not a really big basketball fan basketball is picking up like crazy and you have hockey the kings didn't do well but they're not out right no they got their ass beat by the oilers in the game one of their playoff series last night they got effing pummeled

but i mean the oilers are good i don't think they were gonna get out of the first round no matter who they played they're just not that good they're going goaltending sucks it's been a problem all year but then the oilers are nasty man mcdavid's Dry Settle's good. Maybe they take it to five or six games. I don't know. I don't think they're getting out of the first round. Still better than the Ducks. Yeah, still good. Last night, Randy was walking out of his apartment to go do something,

and I'm watching the Kings game, and I look out the window. I'm like, Randy, the playoff hockey's on. Aren't the Ducks? Oh, man. And then the Oilers scored two goals on the Kings, literally within the next 10 minutes. I was like, well, that's karma. I know that that's what you're watching. I gonna ask you guys what you're watching i'm sorry

i would have gave you a little more heads up um i didn't have time but i'll go ahead and start um i'm watching the what am i i don't know i'm just watching like honey boo boo and stuff like that but yeah the movie the movie that i want to see i I think it's called The Challenger. This weekend, it's a Zendaya threesome movie. Have you heard about this, Julianne? Nice. No, but I'm interested. So it's about tennis. And it was like these tennis pros grew up with each other in the tennis game.

And there's Zendaya and then two guys. And in the trailer, they're all hooking up with each other in some hotel room I was about to say this doesn't sound like the threesome that you were trying to lead us into but now I see it is okay great awesome okay keep going yeah so then they're like all hooked up in a hotel room and then apparently like she goes off with one of the guys and starts like dating him full-time and then the third dude ends up like beefing with them and then they go against each other in a battle royale of tennis and love in love so i think i'm in tyler's love life so let's calm down i don't know i think i'd be interested in watching that yeah it sounds

intriguing i know what tyler was watching because he was watching it during coachella was fallout was it good or what yes fallout is insanely good so i watch it too yeah so can you explain what it is well so it's based off the video game if you've never played the fallout series definitely go play it a lot of fun but it's basically 200 years after the world is just obliterated by a nuclear war and you're just surviving the wasteland so there's a whole bunch of other stuff included i don't want to get into it because i could literally be here all day watch the show it's insanely good video game shows are definitely being made very well that's what i've been saying that's what i've been saying. That's what I've been saying when other people were like, it's still all about superheroes. I'm like, no, this is the

age of the video game. This is now, it was by Detective Pikachu, which we have the poster of it in this freaking studio right now. Sonic the Hedgehog kicked it into the atmosphere, and we're getting TV shows, we're getting movies, era of the video game, films and TV

and I think they're all doing amazing so far. Screw Halo. Give it time, give it time. Anyways, we're getting there. Was that made into a TV show,

Halo? Yeah, yeah, it's on Paramount+. My mom randomly brought up Halo. She's like, I'm watching Halo. Nice!

Yeah, I ran out of episodes to watch. I'm like, what the heck? Yes! Oh, sorry Eric, I cut you off.

Is there anything else you're watching other than sports? I just finished up the series that was on Hulu, I think, Death and Other Details. Okay. It's like a whodunit, a murder on a super expensive, bougie-ass cruise line. It's really good. I liked it.

Me and my wife pumped through it. Julia? You know, I was going to say with Fallout, it reminds me a lot of the boys, how gory it is. I really, really like how they've really gotten into the gore of, I don't want to say killing people off, but it's just, I don't know. It fascinates me. It's so over the top that it's... It is. It's not...

It's B-movie-like now. Yeah.'s not it's b-movie like now yeah yeah it's not comedy yeah yeah right but i just i like it i think it like brings so much to the shows i just i love it and that's what fallout does i almost said fallout boy that's what fallout does i will say that two video games that need to be made into shows, ASAP, my personal favorite, Red Dead Redemption, that needs to be made into a series. Nice. Also, I cannot remember his name, but the guy who was the lead role in that show, Reacher, he would be perfect as the lead for Wolfenstein. That needs to be a show immediately. That'd be dope.

That's such a good story. That would be amazing. Wolfenstein? I would totally watch that. Wol a good story that would be wolfenstein i would totally watch that like i would watch the hell out of it yeah that'd be dope but uh yeah two uh two other things real quick that i've been watching number one i took my dad to go see uh that movie civil war that came out right before coachella oh yeah a lot of people talk about that i actually really liked it that was really good it's very short it's under uh it's just under two hours but the action scenes are really well done i thought it was pretty good and then the other thing i've been watching i've been re-watching brooklyn 99 i forgot how funny

this show is it's comedic gold it's hilarious dude i love this show noise never heard of that one brooklyn nine nine what come on it was on forever yeah the police comedy with andy sandberg as like the lead nope lost me oh sorry kid you know what is funny is um so there's a musical group online from new york who kind of remind me of andy sandberg's um oh the lonely island lonely island so there's this group called laundry day look them up on instagram laundry day there's a guy in the group that looks like andy sandberg and i thought like oh this is this is andy sandberg's little brother or something right it does yeah like dead on pretty damn close um but it's not i looked it up and but it got me thinking i'm like where's annie sandberg been

i think he's taking a break from tv i was actually reading up on brooklyn 99 because i like to read fun facts and stuff on imdb on a weird flex i guess that is so dead on yeah it could be the same guy yeah uh yeah apparently after he finished snl he wanted to take a break from tv and then then he read the script for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and couldn't pass it up. So I wouldn't be surprised if after that, which only ended, I think, a couple years ago, he probably really wanted to take a break from TV. He's probably just chilling right now. Okay. Yeah, it just got me thinking, because I follow this group Laundry Day on Instagram. It looks like a young Andy Samberg.

It's crazy, right? You're looking at it right now. Yeah, I just saw a clip, like a picture of their music video, and I thought it was him. I thought he had a cameo in their video. And no, it's not. It's the guy from the band. But speaking of SNL, I forgot to bring this up on the Woody show.

Do you know that Keenan, he was married to some chick for like, I forget how many years, like I think like 12 years plus or something like that. Okay. He gets a divorce this recently and his wife, his ex-wife is dating another cast member on SNL, a current cast member. Oh, that's odd. Weird, but apparently everything's all good. He's all cool with it.

So his longtime wife, it is randomly like within months is dating another cast member of SNL. And everybody's like all cool about it. There's nothing random about that. I'm not going to say that he's seen what happened to Will Smith and went, you know what? I'm not going that route. But maybe he's like, you know what? That's fine. I'm just going to go over here.

There's other people that will love Kenan Thompson right now. Yeah, for sure. Maybe they just weren't into each other for a really long time and we just didn't know. That could happen too and they're just really good friends. But I'm just saying, props for him if he's cool with some guy he works with. He's dating his ex-wife. As long as it's not

Kel. Yeah, I guess so. That would have been terrible. But yeah, I thought that was super random. Anyways, alright. Wait, I wanted to ask you guys something. Oh, go ahead. Are you guys watching Shogun or X-Men? I'm not watching Shogun yet, but I really, really want to.

I'm very excited. It's so good. It sucks that you have to read the subtitles, but it's a really good show. My stepdad is actually, I think he actually finished the book already, but he read the book. And then Kevin was like, hey, you want to get into this this show called Shogun I'm like yeah sure whatever and top notch so good if you haven't heard of it you want to read the book if you're a book reader read the book that's not for me I like to just watch tv shows so it's really good and then um the main actress is really dope in it yeah and, and she was actually in Monarch. So she plays both. Oh, I do like Monarch.

Yeah, you know which girl I'm talking about. Yeah, she's so pretty. Oh, okay, yeah. I know exactly who you're talking about, yeah. Yeah. And then X-Men, I'm not watching it, but my brother and I were talking about it and I didn't realize that X-Men actually,

the cartoon looks like it's still made in the 90s and it starts off with the last episode of from when we were younger did you guys know that no yeah yeah that's where it starts off yeah so they call it x-men 97 right and so it was the animated series x-men that made them like really popular in the 90s and like every kid yeah right so they just made a continuation of it the animation's a little updated they streamlined a little bit more of it. The animation's a little updated. They streamlined it a little bit more with the comics, and it's more flashy and stuff.

Yeah, it looks pretty cool. I am super excited. Do you watch the trailer yet? Four. Ready for it? Yes. I know where you're going, but continue. Deadpool 2.

Three. Three, three. Three, my bad. Well, you don't call it Deadpoolpool three right deadpool wolverine right i have not i saw the trailer it looks it looks pretty dope too this movie looks great i have not been excited for anything comic book like this in years yeah and i just say yeah and it just has um the second one got very like comic book right? Because I tried to take my wife to the second one, and I was like, I get all this, you're not getting all this.

But this one, it has the same feel as the first one. It just looks very inclusive to itself. There's little things you'll pick up on, but it just looks like such a stupid, funny, buddy-buddy action movie. It's dope. It's going to be huge. And didn't Hughugh jackman actually not want to come back as wolverine but since he apparently he's really good friends with um

with ryan reynolds yeah and so ryan asked hugh if he would you know do the movie with him and he said yeah and that's how we got him to be wolverine isn't that am i correct in that i think that sounds about right yeah okay it took a It took a while, but yeah. Yeah. Because they killed off Wolverine. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And even that gets played into this story. So if you haven't watched the trailer, go watch it. But let's effing go.

What do you think of a possible Taylor Swift cameo? So what's up with the Taylor Swift cameo? I keep hearing that. Like, why? I did hear something about that. Oh, because his- Yeah, because Taylor Swift is really cool with his wife. Yeah, so what? Yeah, so who with his wife yeah so what yeah so i

who's his wife in tournament blake lively yeah so yeah i don't know maybe but i'm gonna be real i was thinking about this the other day i think and i know they've been back for a little bit but i feel like movies are finally like really hitting their stride again as in these are movies i really want to go and see the blockbusters yeah so i took my when i took my dad to go see civil war we saw a couple trailers the new planet of the apes looks good is coming out uh that's supposedly the sequel to the original twister there's another movie coming out called the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare which is like a world war ii but it's kind of like a super fun action movie and i really want to see monkey man with dev patel i haven't seen that yet and the fall guy is coming out it's like dude like i feel like the summer blockbuster

movie is like back we're back baby are you guys excited about taylor's possibly being in this movie not being in it but you but making a little cameo. I think that would be crazy. I don't think I'm excited for the possibility, but I think that would be crazy if that did happen. I think that would be funny. And that also just reminded me, Lana Del Rey pissed off a bunch of people at Coachella.

Because there was a massive rumor. Go ahead, Ben. All right. So, yeah, I'll say it a little bit better than Tyler. But so the whole Coachella, we talked about this on the podcast for months. Leading up to the lineup drop, everyone's like, dude, Taylor Swift is going to play Coachella. There was all these rumors going on from local people who work around the venue venue that she's gonna show up and do a surprise performance or she's gonna at least be on the lineup yeah everyone's like well if it's

gonna happen it's gonna be weekend one friday night with lana del rey right lana del rey performs and then billy eilish comes out right. Good. People were still happy with that. Yeah. Fine. Taylor Swift shows up to Coachella the next day, hangs out all day. And then Weekend 2 happens, right? And everyone's like, oh, Taylor Swift, she's not going to show up to Weekend 2. But then Lana Del Rey was soundchecking and she played a Taylor Swift song. So everyone's like oh crap she's preparing for taylor swift to get on stage because also taylor dropped her album that day so it would all make sense like oh yeah she jumps on stage just a surprise performance yeah it pumps up the album it gets all this press well tyler

tell them what happened so we're sitting in the beer garden we're just chilling for lana del rey kind of a slow set and then all of a sudden you hear her say oh i want to bring out a special guest and people all of a sudden start running towards the crowd they're like oh my god taylor's here there was so many people taylor swift gear too yeah dude right this bitch brought out camila cabello and everybody was so pissed like all we see dude no i didn't boo but everyone was confused because also camila cabello right now has blonde hair like bleached blonde hair yeah so everyone was like confused like squinting their eyes like looking at the screen like wait a minute who is that and then they figured out it was camila cabello and dude i'm telling you it was like the partying of the red sea like all the

people that were there to think like oh taylor swift's gonna show up yeah they automatically like turned around and left oh my god yeah just straight love the funny thing was too is that she's on stage with camilla and i look I know you have to hype up your guest and everything. Camilla Cabello is a big star. People were just there. I'm not big enough for that type of TV show. I'm not big enough for that. Yeah, yeah.

I'm down for a nice troll. That's funny as f**k. That sucks for her. Just imagine being up there and you're all hyped and you run out to the stage and then you see everyone just leaving. Yeah. Oh, that sucks. I mean, me and Tyler have seen that for a couple Royal Rumbles

where like the number 30 entrant. Yeah. Maybe Battle Royale is always supposed to be someone special and then it's somebody not even mattering right there and they just get booed. We've seen Remus. She didn't get booed yeah that's good yeah anyways all right sorry we didn't have a podcast last week of course we had

gochella going on a lot of stuff going on with the woody show tons of stuff so much stuff so many things and stuff but we were all hung over last week too we're hung over yes we were so trashed if you're going to stagecoach this weekend, I'm going to be there because I ain't no pussy like Tyler. What? What? All three weekends. Can you watch Stagecoach on YouTube as well? I think you can

actually. I think so. I think we passed a billboard saying you could watch it live on YouTube. Okay, good, good, good. Why are you not taking Tyler? I'll be honest with you. He didn't express that he wanted to go. I would love to go to Stagecoach.

I really would. So if that opportunity is available next year, yes, I will totally tag along with you. Because I love country music. If I came up on a last second pass this weekend, would you come out? I would love to, but no one was asking me. I would love to.

Just throw it out there just in case. I would love to. Tyler, how many pregnant chicks did we see at Coachella? Zero. Okay, because obviously they had already pushed them all out because they brought their stupid kids with them. So dumb. Oh, dude, we saw a ton of dogs, too. I saw a couple dogs.

Kids and dogs. You know that a bunch of pregnant women are going to be at stagecoach, though, so that's where you need to be at because you can't get them pregnant. That's not Coachella. I know. I'm saying you've got to get't get them pregnant. That's not Coachella. I know. I'm saying you've got to get your ass over there. Back to the original question.

If I came up on a pass, would you go? I would love to. My only thing is that I probably should have requested that off from work, and I do not want to call out last second. All right. Let's do some shout outs to get out of here. What just happened right now? Look, I didn't get to

And, Eric, I'm just saying, just have the baby already because edc is going down edc my heyday i miss it edc do you think eric will like break out of his apartment for like one night just all in raver gear ready to go break out my apartment for that and i'll break out of my marriage it's a 35 minute flight dude you got it and then you just land at the private airport and then you

helicopter over to edc oh dude those helicopter those helicopter drops coming in i used to park by the helicopter landing spot and i'm like i used to dream sitting in two hours of traffic getting out of that festival i'm like people just hopping on a chopper and they're in their hotel room in 20 minutes i know i think I might chop her in because... If you chop her in, dude, you're literally living my dream. Like, please record it. Please send me a video.

I have friends I'll send that to because we used to dream as like lowly college kids. Like, how do we even pay to get there? And we're like watching these chopper people, like these DJs and high-end people. Yeah. We're like, dude, just chopper me out of here. Please leave my car.

Well, what happened was last year the friday traffic was just too crazy yeah i was like you know what uber turn this thing around i'm good right yeah so um i was like man i i wish i could just chop her in and i talked to my buddies like oh you can get one way you don't have to rent it for the the whole time i go really i go dude i would have done one way and then just uber back because getting an uber out was super easy but getting an uber in crazy but then the next day saturday it was perfectly fine so but i'm thinking if i go this year and the traffic's crazy dude i'm hitting up that chopper airport i'm getting on one dude

there's no way i'm gonna sit for two and a half hours to get into EDC. Memories. A young Eric drinking a bottle of vodka in the EDC parking lot. Those were the days. 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and do it again the next day. A young dreamer. That could still be Eric today, dude. Just with the baby in your hand.

I don't know if I could, man. I don't know if I could, man. I probably could, but I would need like a month to recoup. Yeah, like Tyler who slept through our podcast today. I'm still dumbfounded by that, man. I probably could, but I would need a month to recoup. Yeah, like Tyler, who slept through our podcast today, he's still recouping. I'm dumbfounded by that, dude. 11 a.m. I can't remember the last time I slept until past 9 or 10.

11 a.m. I'm dead serious with you. I went to bed maybe about 11 last night. I do not know. That's what I'm saying. I do not know why I slept until 11. The only what I'm saying. Like, I do not know why I slept till 11. The only reason I woke up is because I felt vibrating on my bed. And I look over and I see it.

It's like it says medicine. Then I thought, holy, I got to get up. He's like, my balls are still barking from Coachella. All right. Julianne, do you have anything to say before we leave? Yeah, two things. For the Emo's Not Dead cruise,

they just dropped the lineup, and The Used is going to be playing. I can't believe I'm not going to be on this cruise. Hawthorne Heights, Sayosin. You people and your kids. Yeah, so I'm totally going to miss this, but if you guys are going, I'm jealous.

Anyways, my second thing I wanted to say is that the other day, Felicity was actually changing a poopy diaper for me, and she goes, Hey, Mom, can you throw the diaper away? I said, Yeah, sure. And she throws the diaper to me. I kid you not, two crap pellets flung out of that diaper.

And one hit me in the cheek and one hit me in my shoulder. And I freaked the hell out. Why is she doing it? I always like, whenever I give her diapers, and she's a catcher. So I turn around and I launch it at her. Oh, hell no. Because I want her diapers and she's a catcher so I turn around and I want her to practice catching she tried doing it to me but she didn't roll the diaper good enough and crap flew out of the diaper and begged me with two pellets

poop pellets hit me one in the face one in the shoulder so so I want I want to clarify something you are training your daughter to be a catcher. And by training her, you are throwing diapers that's full of literal duty to her. Usually it's pee. Usually it's pee. That does not make it better, Jules. And if she drops it, I said, hey, you know what? That means you just got to practice more, girl.

Get them hands ready. New literal meaning for that ball's in the dirt. Yeah. All right. Tyler, do you have anything to say before we leave? Number one, I don't know what I just heard. Number two. Things you got to look forward to.

Number two. So we mentioned very quick when I was talking about the Angel game about like ticket websites. Look, if you're going to use a website to buy your tickets, go to GameTime. That's where I get all mine. And on top of that, you can see how much the fees are before you pay. Is Tyler doing an ad read right now? No, that's cool, though. I support it.

It was so good. I'm saying this because I literally told you guys about this over the weekend. Yeah. Like, just use GameTime because you can see what the fees are before you even put in your credit card info. And the tickets are pretty cheap. Not as sponsored as shipping. You know what? I hear a lot about GameTime. It hasn't worked out for me yet on stuff that I'm trying to get tickets for.

But I hear a lot of great things about it. I use it for everything i buy tickets for for maybe the past two years i use it for everything i want to go to more games this year like tyler so i'm gonna definitely open up the game time app and see if i can get any deals on something but i do hear great things and they also uh do ads on barstool i hear them a lot on there too they do yeah they're the best ticket out there is right now nice all right Alright. Eric, do you have anything to say before we leave? Pretty dumb, but I've been walking around with a black eye for a week because I got

hit in the face with a hockey stick during my game over the weekend. And it's nothing major. It's just a little bruise. I mean, it's not a little bruise. I'll send you guys a picture. But as a society, we need to find something new to say to somebody with a black eye other than, should have seen the other guy, right?

I've heard that about 15 to 20 times in the past 48 hours. And it's just every time it's like, do I just play along with it? Just blame what happened. We just need to evolve as a society. First of all, walking around with a black eye at the grocery store, you get some fun looks. People kind of just stray away from you. Yeah.

But as a society, we need to find something new to say to some of the black guys. You should have seen the other guy, huh? Yeah, funny man. I've just met at the gym that I've never talked to. Yeah, funny dude. Eric, that's a good shiner. I took a stick to the face.

Yeah, it is. I saw you on Thursday right before we left for Coachella. How did I not see this on your face? It was Friday. So you didn't see me when it happened. That's like almost to your temple. Yeah, I got right under my eyes, so it could have been worse.

You could have lost an eye. It didn't even break skin. I didn't even bleed or anything. It just swelled up really bad the first night. I got up and went to the bathroom and looked at it. I was like, oh crap, here comes the bruise. I rolled over the next morning. My wife was like, yeah, your face is blue and i'm like yep whatever it's all good noise comes with territory real man right there you should just respond back and say sorry i pissed off the wife yeah i would say you know my lady's pregnant dude yeah right there's a funny thing so

with a pregnant wife and a black eye. Nice. Oh, hey, real quick. Speaking about groceries and food and stuff. You finally did the lazy dog delivery? Yeah, man. Straight to my door. Got a couple beers delivered. Two meals for myself and my wife.

And a puppy meal for my dog. Oh, no way. We all had a family dinner delivered doorstep. Daisy was sitting down eating her little chimpkin dinner and I got the fried chicken sandwich.

My wife got one of their bowls and I got two of the dinosaur themed IPAs that they were releasing last week with their beer drops. Oh, how was that?

How was that? Delicious. I do want, still waiting to hear Tyler's dinosaur roars because we missed out on that opportunity. But the IPas were great

it was funny like i i sent that audio to lazy dog when we were talking about the dino beers and you know they're like oh such a great discussion i'm like man you know would have been the topper if tyler would have actually did like a roar for us you know and he just did like a little squeal like ty, can you redeem yourself and give me like an actual dino roar? Like a dinosaur? Come on, man. I cannot. What? Is he

too cool? I don't even know how to do it because my voice doesn't go that You watched Jurassic Park like a thousand times. Tyler, you just shelled out a free ad read for Game Time and you can't do one good thing for Lazy Dog which has been so nice for us over the years.

Okay, hold on. How would this roar even happen? Think Jurassic Park 1. Think when you see the T-Rex walking up on the car. The water's vibrating. It's going to sound like a loud ass yawn. It doesn't matter. but everybody be quiet when he does it.

Let me try it. I don't know what that was. What the? I don't even know what that was. That's the sound he makes getting out of bed in the morning, dude. Yeah. I did that, and halfway through that, my throat was like, no, we're done. Wow.

All right. Should we give it one more try? Come on, Tyler. One more. All right. Again, think about Jurassic Park. Storm's happening. You see the fence rattling.

The goat disappeared. Yeah, you're at Lazy Dog Restaurant, and you look over at their beer club, and you see the dino beer. There's a nice lady holding the beer waiting for you. So you told me to roar at the nice lady? That's amazing. There we go. We almost had it. Everybody talked over it.

Okay, one more time. Same thing. Everybody quiet and go. Roar! Alright. I think that's the best we're going to do. Have you seen Jurassic Park? Jesus. I'm not even.

You've seen dinosaurs roar, right? I'm not even joking, dude. My throat is yelling at me right now. Yeah, that was awful. Yeah, anyways. I think it was going to be good. A loss for words. Check out our friends at Lazy Dog.
