What's new everybody and welcome to another edition of the What's New Podcast with Menace. I am Menace. I'm joined by Bort, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States. His assistant's real name is Eric, but we call him Nick Soundwave. It's E Soundwave on Instagram, by the way. Yes, it has finally changed, everybody. is Eric, but we call him Nick Soundwave. It's E Soundwave on Instagram, by the way.

Yes, it has finally changed, everybody. Brand new. He also works for Fox Sports, which we're going to actually dive into on this podcast. Fox Sports minus the sports now. Yeah. Also, we have... We are Fox. We also have Randy, who is a radio DJ,

and he works on The Woody Show. That's right. We have Tyler, who runs the boards for The Woody Show on Alt 987 in Los Angeles and Orange County. This will be the Corona Freakout 2020 podcast. Oh, God. Just to recap it, I think it really just came to a head last Wednesday where a ton of stories just started breaking at the same time in the evening. And then I just knew next morning, that's when everything's just

going to go to ish because the news that broke was first Donald Trump said, we're banning everybody going to Europe. And then right after that, then the Tom Hanks news broke. And then the news broke that the NBA was going to shut down. This was all happening late on the East coast, probably around six, seven o'clock West coast time. And I go, oh, there it is. And that's the thing that I've been talking about on this podcast, that the reports are going to come in, and then people are going to freak out. And you guys were all going back

and forth in our group chat for the podcast. It was just, this is gone, this is gone, MLB's gone, NFL's gone, everything. Man, I had so much hope that wrestling would keep going with a crowd. I was praying. I was hoping.

I was hoping at least concerts would keep going because I had a couple concerts coming up. Guess what? Rescheduled. Yeah. All out. Then the XFL just announced that they're going to end the season. That hurt. Yeah, that really hurt because we're looking forward to going to the next game on the 29th.

And then baseball announced that they're going to push back the season. So, so many things happen and i just want some insight from nick soundwave who actually works at fox sports before all the nfl trades started happening and the tom brady news broke what were you guys talking about in this time period so the thing at so at fox sports i can only talk to you know as much as fox sports we've had plenty of calls we had plenty of you know uh think tank sessions and we weren't we in no way form or fashion had any intention of going dark everybody was like hey you're gonna keep talking what are you guys gonna do you're gonna go dark in a simulcast of news that was never on the board and it was basically now it's time to put on your thinking caps it's time to entertain when there's no you know clear-cut storylines there's no clear

cut games to yeah no March Madness. Everything is black. Thankfully, there is the NFL offseason. The league calendar is reset. They got a new CBA. Tom Brady's up in the air. There's tons of stuff happening in the NFL. But just those days. There was about a week, a week and a half of where the NFL trades weren't

trickling in. There was no NBA. There was obvious topics of what do you do next? What does the NBA do after this? There's going to be a little period where producers have to produce. They got to put their thinking caps on. The talent have to show why they're the talent and, you know, make content. You don't got the gimmicky knee-jerk reaction to hot take radio anymore. So you actually have to think and put your mind together and put a good product out day

in and day out. There are going to be scarce days. Like once we get to week three, week four of nothing, you can't use your Tom Brady crutch. You can't use your NFL crutch. So it's going to be a weird time in sports radio, but you're going to see who's good at what they do and who's not good at what they do.

Yeah, I think it's easy for television because television, I even got into it who I'm not really big into sports at all, but the March Madness throwback documentary stuff, it was super interesting. I watched this one on Duke that was amazing. And even stuff like that, though. Radio shows will use that. Let's count down our top 10 Kobe games. Let's count down our top 10 March Madness games.

Eventually, those will run out. Eventually, your March Madness brackets that you're throwing your fast foods in, your favorite pets will run out. Eventually it's going to come down to put on your boots and be creative and put a good product out there. And that's why, at least on the Fox Sports radio, everybody's kind of chopping at the bit to have that opportunity to show what they're made of. Do they ever talk about esports? Because I'm thinking like, okay, in this situation, esports can keep on going. Yeah, I actually brought up esports over the weekend on one of my overnight shows. And then I brought up the fact that it might have some legs because of the fact that you could do real-time esports.

Maybe not so much Fortnite. You know, that's maybe I think might still stay more niche-y online to Twitch, you know, streaming, stuff like that. But I was talking, if you throw a Madden tournament up on ESPN, which they have been on the weekends, you know, but they've been more located on the weekends, Saturdays, Sundays. I know Randy and Tyler are the streamers and stuff, but like, you throw Madden on TV on a weekend on ESPN

Saturday afternoon, people will sit there and watch because it's not predetermined, and for the most part, it's as live as you can get without having real people on the field nowadays. And do you know what would be dope? If they actually got the players to play. I was just going to say that, man. That would be sick. People would watch that.

One of the things that pro teams have been doing, like the Phoenix Suns, they've been playing the remainder of their season, but on simulation mode on NBA 2K. No way. And you can tune in on Switch, so you're watching the game, but it's just the 2K game. With the current rosters, with the players, and all that stuff it's pretty cool yeah that's really cool and i want to circle back real quick i know you mentioned about everything shutting down seasons being pushed back like the nfl or not the nfl excuse me the nba nhl they have hopes of you know resuming their regular season the mlb pushed back their start date so it's just going to start a later time

the xfl was in such a weird spot because, you know, they're a new league. They have all, you know, they're babies. Yeah, they're trying to build a fan base. And literally, as they're getting their feet under them, learning how to walk through this crazy sports landscape, it's like your leg's taken out from under you right in the middle of this. I know, that sucks. Shut down the season.

But I do want to say they handled this with flying colors. You know, they could have easily, you know, folded up shop, not paid out their employees, not paid out their players but they gave them all their money they were guaranteed they paid out their contracts they could have easily taken a pr hit in a lot of bad ways and be like you know what well we don't have the money to fund this we can't give you your money you know we'll see you next year but they took care of their players they took care of their teams and they handled it with about as good as you could have handled it for a new you know fresh out the womb organization pretty much yeah i think it's so weird that these arena people are not getting paid like players have to come up with

some money to pay out these people you know i would think that'd be like okay bad press is already out there let's automatically just take care of these arena people and make it go away because it can't be that much money to a lot of these teams because honestly players bring everyone to the game right but guess what people aren't necessarily having the greatest time unless those people are walking around taking care of them they're literally you know the players are the cooks of the kitchen right but without the waiters and the bus boys what do you got well eric proper really good point when the nba first canceled the art sorry postponed the remainder of the season they said no league wants to be the one league that's still standing yeah so then you look at teams that still have yet to pay their employees and it's like you have the money why do you want to be

that one team that hasn't paid them i think the boston bruins haven't paid their people or they haven't released anything regarding i mean i'm not surprised just pay them out anything regarding paying them but it's like you really want to be that one team that's not paying their people they make billions of dollars on merch every year alone. Team wrestling, just keep it going. You ask what we're talking about on sports radio, this is exactly what's been happening. It's exactly the topics of why is Zion playing out the employees and not the Pelicans? Why are players friend of Bill and not the owners that are worth billions of dollars?

So right here, guys, this is exactly what's happening on sports radio. I like that conversation. As far as I know, the only owner that's paid out anybody is Mark Cuban. I think he's literally the only one. Did you see the video when he got the news that the season was being postponed? No. It was weird. He was on a court side with some of his guys from the Mavs, and you can see him freaking out,

and then he went over to the bench to tell the players because I think they're in the middle of a game when the news went down. There were a few NBA games going on when the announcement got put out. They just shut down the game immediately? No, they finished it out. They were in the middle of a game when the news went down. There were a few NBA games going on when the announcement got put out. They just shut down the game immediately? No, they finished it out. They were in the middle of the third quarter, and they finished out that game, and then the game in New York ended up being the last two games.

There were two other ones scheduled, and they canceled them. So in the end, Spike Lee wins. Yeah. All right. Thanks a lot, Tyler. It's Tyler's fault, too. You know what that means? That Tyler wins.

I know. and another part of news um yes the woody show after hours takeover at disney california venture park has been postponed a lot of people go has it been canceled no and also if you've won tickets you're still good we're still working on getting a date for that um of course all the other events with the what's new pod has been postponed. Our Big Bear Mountain events all got postponed the day before. So we're going to still have them. Don't worry.

Just need to get new dates. Everything is up in the air right now. But we still have a bunch of giveaways, of course, online for you. All you got to do is go to our Instagram, at What's New Pod. I made it super easy for you now at what's new pod. There's a big button that says win. Click on that and it will take you where you need

to go to enter those contests. Like do you want a diamond ring? Thanks to Jewelers Plus. Maybe. Do you want a ton of gift cards from DC Shoes? Hell yeah. Do you want more than that just go to our instagram at what's new pod and click win to enter right now you'd have to be a randy to screw this

up man yeah good one i also want to go back right now because again did i call it or did i call it that this freak out was going to happen right i've been talking about it on this podcast for weeks. And I just want to say also because people that don't listen to the podcast, they just take little bits and they put it on social media and they go, Menace has been promoting stockpiling. No, I've been promoting like, hey, just have enough in your house to take care of yourself because I'm telling you right now that it's going to go down. There's going to be a report that goes out and there's going to be no food in the stores. And that's

exactly what happened. I didn't say get more so you can live for like two years. That's not what I said. Yeah. Interpret it how you want to interpret it. But also keep in mind, if you do live in the Los Angeles area, the mayor already came out and said, along with the heads of pretty much every grocery store in the area, hey, guys, we're not running out of food. Quit being dicks and buying everything. Yeah, they even went to a warehouse to show all the food. But I will say this, though, a couple things.

Yes, get enough to take care of yourself for a little while because they are limiting the amount of food that they're sending to each store from all the grocery store workers that I know. They go, look, some items that we would order in 10,000, we're only getting 2,000 of. Not to let everybody freak out about that because, again, they have plenty of food. They're just spreading it out because people just go there and just buy everything. They're buying like tens of everything. I know. You know what I thought, though, the other day?

Because Menace and I had been talking about how I need to get some eggs for my girlfriend's family. Yes. All the places by them, cleaned out. The hipsters made it to Northgate Market. They wiped it out clean. L Super, all gone. So I was like, you know, I'm really trying to find some eggs. And while I was driving home, I went to two stores, couldn't find any eggs.

And I was thinking, I was like, damn, think about every store in just L.A. alone. And then the O.C. And then San Diego, Central California. Millions of people. San Francisco, millions. And then multiply it by every state. How are these chickens laying this many eggs?

I know, I know, right? Where are all the chickens at? For real. You don't want my theory on that. I'm thinking about it. I'm like, damn, bro, there's like five boxes of 150 eggs here just alone. There's probably more in the back. On top of it, packs of 30, packs of 12, different packs, organic packs.

I'm like, bro, how do we have this many chickens laying this many eggs? It doesn't make sense. I know. Well, you didn't even share the funniest story is because I said the day before, Whole Foods had a ton of eggs, which they did. Yeah. And I said, oh, I'm going to go over there, Randy. And you said, oh, I'm going to probably go over there and see if they have the eggs and i just wanted to get some like seasoned chicken that

they have that is so good of course they didn't have it it was out and i see randy and randy goes dude they don't have any more eggs they just have duck eggs of course the most whole foods thing in the world effing duck eggs they only have duck eggs and then randy goes oh i'm gonna leave i'm gonna go check out another spot and as randy's walking away this guy comes up to me he goes hey uh where's the duck eggs at and i go oh they're over there he goes have you ever tried duck eggs are they any good like he was that desperate to get eggs that he was willing to get the duck eggs he didn't even wanted my feedback on them so, it sucks in this time. If you have enough food, stop buying more food.

Stop being dicks. You'll be okay. And another thing I don't understand is why hundreds and hundreds of people are lining up in front of Costco. There's other places to shop. Why are you waiting for hours to get into Costco? One, people are dicks. Two, people are mindless and just go for the straight line. And three, they're greedy. That's what they see on the news. The news keeps on showing into Costco. One, people are dicks. Two, people are mindless and just go for the straight line. And three, they're greedy.

That's what they see on the news. Like, the news keeps on showing just Costco. There's plenty of other stores you can go to. Yeah, there's so many people that have said, look, if you want bread and you can't find it, go to a bakery. It's like mosquitoes to the bug zapper, dude. They see it on the news, and it's like they're blinded by the light, and they're brainlessly going until they zap themselves in line at Target.

I know. It's drones, bro. It's insane. I went to the supermarket three times over the weekend for random stuff. Beer. In and out. Yeah. 15, 20 minutes.

El Super. Bro, stop going to Costco. Stop going to Target. Yeah. I know exactly why they're going to Costco, though. Why? Number one, everything's in bulk. And number two, because everything's in bulk, it's a little bit cheaper.

Yeah, but it's not. But nothing's there. Why are we acting surprised? Because people just don't pay attention. They don't know the truck schedule, so they go there randomly. Nothing's there. And to buy things in bulk, like, is it worth it? Waiting in hours and hours again, right next to each other when you're supposed to not

be like within six feet of other people. Like I said, people are greedy. Yeah, that's how they went because they want all of it. Check it out, guys. This is going to sound crazy for those of you who don't know. But if you go to Asian markets or different markets that are based on different ethnicities, they've got lots of stuff. People are just not going to them because they're dicks.

Bro, stop giving up our cheat code. Another thing I think is like freaking people out and why they're stockpiling is because we don't really have any idea on what's going on. Like we have this feeling that we can be locked down at any second. We're like, be in your house. So my sister lives in San Francisco. She is locked down until April 7th. Okay.

So I think that people are like, okay, what's the proper amount of food and supplies I should buy? Because I don't know how long I'm going to be in my house for, which causes more panic, you know? And people don't read the headlines or the official statements that get put out that say you can still go to the stores and buy the food you need. People just keep freaking out. And it's like, by doing that, not only are you causing panic amongst the people around you, but you also put people who are elderly and people who have immune disorders who are also affected by this virus. You make it life harder for them because they can't go to the effing stores. See, I'm more confused by the fact that people don't know how to shop, man. Like, have you guys never gone grocery shopping in your life?

You don't know what you need for a week as opposed to two weeks. I love the I'm going to buy 17 gallons of milk. What's the shelf life of milk, guys? I can't even drink a gallon of milk in like two and a half weeks when it's just me. Why are you buying 17? Dude, I said to somebody at Grocery Outlet when they saw other people stocking up, I said, who has room for this stuff in Los Angeles? In a tiny apartment.

Where are you putting this? My mom spent all of Sunday cleaning out the freezer outside, putting new stuff in, taking old stuff out. I'm like, Mom, why do we need 35 pounds of red meat? Whoa, you got a freezer outside? We're not going to war. You know, another thing that sucks is this is really hurting small businesses like crazy. All the restaurants that you love are getting screwed. People are getting cut left and right.

You watch the news and the small business have to lay off their staff because they can't pay them. Do you know what? Another thing that's tripping me out, that all the airlines in the country are saying that they'll be bankrupt in months. BS.

Where's all their money? Do they have no money? I didn't realize jet fuel was suddenly $5 billion a gallon. Is it like paycheck to paycheck these businesses are running? I don't feel bad for the airlines. I have friends who are flight attendants, and I feel bad for them because once they land from wherever they're coming from, their schedule's in limbo, and they don't notify them where they're supposed to go.

But also, if you're doing less flights, that means you're spending less money. How are you going bankrupt? It doesn't make sense because the flights are so much cheaper now online. And it's like, well, if you guys are desperate for money. Here's another thing I want to ask if you think it's a good idea. If the airlines are going to go bankrupt because they keep on running, should there just be a domestic travel ban of flying? Because it will stop the virus.

It will stop them from spending money. It's going to suck for a lot of people. But at the end, we don't have to give them $50 billion to keep on running. I do not understand why. I mean, obviously I do understand for work purposes and stuff, but I don't get why we're still flying domestic flights to areas that have

lots of, lots of, uh, because patients with the virus, because people are working and they need to get home no but i understand but just say like hey here's a set date we're gonna stop flying at this time or get your ass home or what if you minimize it to a degree and you say okay cool if there's an emergency there's flights going to these places leaving from this international

airport on this day for this week well you got it because i mean like look emergencies happen people gotta go well the regulation that people are doing is like for certain countries, you can't go into the country unless you're national. If they were applied to say, you know, domestic flights, like you can't fly to Seattle unless you're a Washington citizen. I think they might not be doing it also because it will add to panic. If that happened, people panic even more like chill, everybody. Everybody's buying like crazy amount of guns right now.

If they shut down the flights, there's going to be no gas for anybody's car. People don't want the sense of, I'm locked in. And then once outside travel is completely cut off, then it's like, okay, cabin fever is slowly going to creep in on you. And then your world is going to get smaller and smaller and smaller. That's what I was telling my fiance the other day. This is going to get wonky in like week three, man. I know. I was about to say though,

what a great time to be a comedian releasing a special on Netflix. That's what I saw Joe Coy at the grocery store and I was like, dude, because he was tripping out because he had to cancel a bunch of shows. Yeah. I go, I know it sucks,

but people are going to be at home streaming your special and by the time you get out on the road, you're going to be at home streaming your special. And by the time you get out on the road, you're going to even have more fans. Absolutely. Plus if like for the pro streamers and people playing games online, what better time to be playing games for people to tune in when they can't leave their house. And he's smart. We talked about this. He's producing content every day and putting up online. It pushed him over a million followers on Instagram. It's so rad. That's why it's good. And that's why we're putting out podcasts right now.

Just don't sit at home, like be productive, catch up on those projects that you've been wanting to do or clean your house, Tyler, and just do everything that you can do. Don't sit around. Here's another thing that I keep on bringing up on the Woody show, which I'm afraid of that it's going to start setting a new norm for little tiny things. Like the salsas aren't going to be out. When I went to Chick-fil-A, they put away all the extra sauces that they had laying out. Like that whole tray is gone. I was at a taco place, and yeah, I had to ask for the salsas behind the counter.

I'm like, is that going to be the new norm? Well, I knew also the food stuff was getting crazy when they announced no buffets in Vegas. I go, no! Bro, you were freaking out, man. Yeah, and then they announced that they're shutting all these casinos down. I was freaking out. Arabia's freaking out. That's going to be weird seeing Las Vegas Boulevard a complete ghost town.

That's going to be weird. Oh, seeing Times Square empty or seeing shots of San Francisco empty. You see pictures in Italy? I think Tyler sent a picture over to the group chat. Like the canals in Venice? They're clear. Yeah. Fish.

No garbage. Nobody's dumping anything into the water anymore. You can see the fish at the bottom of the canal now. Dolphins are showing up in the ports. It's wild. Do you see all those monkeys going crazy because none of the tourists are feeding them? I'm going to throw this out there. Out of all the things to happen during a pandemic, I did not expect monkey gangs to show up on my timeline.

That was pretty awesome. If you haven't seen this, look it up. Hundreds of monkeys are just like storming downtown areas because tourists usually feed them, but no tourists are there. So now they're just like looking for food everywhere. Eric would be in heaven right now. Is it bad that I, I mean, I didn't recently watch it,

but there's an episode about like the, the like civilized monkeys and like India and stuff like that. So I instantly see all them. It's like gangs in New York in the middle of like this tourist area. It's awesome. So now that we've talked about all the doom and gloom,

let's talk about some okay things that are happening. Thanks to the virus. Movies directly in your house yeah dude that was universal they said hey we're not going to take a loss on this let's just go ahead and throw it into your inbox at home on your apple tv and everything and i posted online and people started complaining about the price 20 bucks like i get it it's a lot of money for a rental but how much is two tickets at the movie theater these days?

These are probably the same people who won't go to the theaters because of the price. So the second they see $19.99 attached to anything, they're like, I'm not paying for that. I'd gladly pay $19.99 for The Invisible Man and The Hunt. Those things look pretty good. You're saying people that complain about prices at the grocery store, but they'll spend like $40 on dinner

at some random ass movie place. Or they'll buy 900 cans of soup. Randy. I bought a few cans of Campbell's Chunky. Leave me alone, Clemshatter. I'm not a sponsor, but they should be. I was also thinking some other people that might be complaining about it are the people who don't

necessarily know if they have a job right now or not because their place closed. When I had no money, I didn't buy movies. I didn't rent them, I get it. Then look, when I had no money, I didn't buy movies. I didn't rent them. Yeah. You know? I understand that.

I mean, also, cool little tidbit, though, I'm starting to see more companies are unveiling this or unrolling this out. Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey are going to be available this weekend for a review. Already? Wow. Yeah. See? That's because it did so badly.

I know, but so many people are going to rent that. That's a smart move. Yeah. I think we're missing out the big picture here. The biggest thing. Trolls. World Tour. Oh, trolls.

Oh, yeah. Trolls 2. Yeah. Bort, I want to get your thoughts on this. WrestleMania is still happening. Yeah. It's going to be weird, don't you think? Yeah, brother.

Beyond weird. Is it going to be bad? Beyond. So I've already watched some wrestling events with empty arenas. I watched Ring of Honor had to cancel. They had two pay-per-views this weekend. Two had to cancel and they did just some live TV tapings. A little weird.

But they took the seats away, which I thought was better. No empty seats. It was just an arena with the barriers, the barricade, right? Okay. And I watched two WWEs from that same performance center, Raw and SmackDown, that WrestleMania's going to be at. The weirdest damn shows I've ever seen. So weird. I got to see Stone Cold Steve Austin come out

without a crowd cheering for him. I saw that too. That was really creepy. It's awkward. I got a little roasted for this. I don't know. I think they should still feed the crowd noise in there. Because when you're at a show, it's not really that loud at all. It's pretty quiet. Yeah. But when you're at a show it's not really that loud at all it's pretty

quiet yeah you know but when you're watching on tv there's constant noise well because they have they have the crowd commentators you have the crowd mic too but i mean yeah you could pull the old wcw put a fake crowd i mean they do with sitcoms i just think i think they should just do what they did on monday night raw which is just uh replay an old pay-per-view or a compilation of good fights. That just sucks, though, because what are you getting for your WrestleMania ticket? I saw some wrestling fans say, why don't they just wait? That's what I said. That's actually what I said.

You might as well push it back to SummerSlam, which is almost like the WrestleMania B. Or my other idea is just don't have an empty arena. Put up barricades. Make it look like an actual fighting arena, something like a warehouse, something that actually looks more brutal. What if they stopped using the microphones, the arena mics? I feel like if you stop acting like you're catering to an arena environment, maybe just do more like, obviously you can't do lavaliers and stuff

because they're shirtless half the time. But maybe if you stop acting like you're catering to an arena and make it more of like an actual like shot for shot in frame kind of thing when you guys are at home hopefully you're not out in the streets what are you doing to entertain yourself video games video games yeah you guys are playing each other yeah so call of duty dropped their new battle royale war zone thing so me and randy have been playing it for the past couple days. It's pretty fun. We're slowly getting better and better.

But yeah, that's just a lot of what there is to do, at least for guys in their 20s-ish. Do you guys have usernames or something? Just guys being dudes. Listeners can play with you? His username is pretty complicated. Say my Instagram and Twitter, heyits Randall on PS4 and Xbox One his is complicated though see mine has like two like special characters

I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna edit it today it is the end I learned nothing no I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna edit it today simplify you have no idea

how hard it was to find him on Xbox when we first started playing I'm like wait just say it just say it I wanna hear how terrible it is no so it's

you learned nothing from me he doesn't he does not like dude I'm gonna back on this because how old is this this is probably something you made in like middle school no that's when i made my xbox game this username i i want to say i made like three years ago oh that's your fault then see mine i made in like sixth grade seventh grade so i've just been stuck it was the best thing you were an adult when you made this what is it okay so

no it's this stupid name. No, it's just Heavy T, which was my nickname back when I was in the warehouse. But the thing that makes it a little bit more complicated is that there's a lowercase L on one side and there's a lowercase on the other side, so it looks like a... Like brackets. Yeah, like a bracket. Oh, wait. So you put an L, then heavy...

So it's L space, heavy T space, lowercase L, yeah. Wait, is there like an underscore or is it space? No, there's no underscore. It's literal space. So it's L space, heavy T space, lowercase L, yeah. Wait, is there like an underscore or is it space? No, there's no underscore. It's literal space. So it's lowercase L space, heavy T space, lowercase L. So heavy and T are one word? Yes. And then a space with an L?

Yes. Now imagine him writing that down and not explaining to me that it's a lowercase L. Like I said, I'm going to legitimately go home today. Hey, don't use the brackets that these look like. It's actually the third thing you're going to think of. Don't change it today because we're putting out this podcast. Actually, there's something to address because Tyler and I had a pretty deep

conversation the other day. Wait, capital H? Capital H, yeah. Oh, so it's all caps. It's all caps. Wait, it lowercase L space all caps heavy space capital T space

lowercase L I just double checked do you understand why it took me like an hour to find I'll tell you what I will make it very easy I'm going to switch the name I will load up the name on my Instagram feed so you can find it there. No one's going to see your Instagram feed.

Just don't even do it. Too bad for them. They don't want to give them the bad name. Tyler Laborda. I think he did it because he really wanted the heavy T thing. But I actually had a conversation with him the other day. He was like, man, I don't know. I'm like, what's up, man?

What's got you down? He's like, I'm thinking about playing Xbox with other people. But Xbox is just like my sacred space. It's like my dojo. I don Xbox with other people, but Xbox is just like my sacred space. You know, it's like my dojo. I don't know. The words sacred space. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You said sacred space.

You said, you said, you said, I don't think I'm ready to let people into that. That's my go away. I'm like, honestly, this guy acts like he's Brad Pitt. He's got 15 million followers. All I said was that just Xbox is my, like, it's my home away from home. It's my escape from reality. It's like the Kung Fu Panda over here. He's on 25, 27 different consoles.

Come on, guys. He is. 25, 27 different consoles. He was literally the kid I would block on Xbox Live. Exactly. Brett's the kind of guy who would message you and be like, I left your mom. And then Todd would start crying. All right.

Eric, E Sound Soundwave Nick Soundwave what are you doing past your time as of now I've been playing some video games cleaning up my apartment and stuff like that

I'm an adult so I kind of have like responsibilities I just go play video games all day but no I mean I play some video games streaming stuff

National Geographic stuff like that I think mine is just like finish up projects clean the house the boredom hasn't really set in just yet like i do turn off i mean i probably do turn off the video games a little quicker than these two over here um just because i get bored and i'm home alone so well here's another thing too i have a little bit of trouble and i think maybe some of you guys run into this um where your partner doesn't agree on all your streaming choices.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So to find a common ground on that is kind of a pain. Yeah. This is the one blessing. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'd love to be living with my girlfriend now financially stable. But whenever we're together, god damn it, man.

It's always Ugly Betty or some stupid cooking show. And I fall asleep. And she's like, are you just going to fall asleep? I'm like, yeah. I don't want to watch this, bro. Welcome to life. I luck out actually a little bit because Dr. Sunshine, my fiance, she prefers to watch her stuff on her laptop because it's everything.

All her favorites are like right there for her and all our accounts are linked up. So literally last night I was like, what do you want to do? After we just finished dinner, she's like, well, what do you want to do? I was like, I mean, I could play some video games, play NHL. She's like, okay, I'll stream American Horror Story or something or The Voice or something on her. So she sits next to me on her laptop while I got the TV. See, that's dope.

See, marriage life isn't all that bad, guys. It's not bad. One in a million right there. So speaking about entertaining yourself at the house, Woody just walked in the room. What's up, Woody? So I've been following you on social media, and this is a question I want to bring up on the Woody show, but I couldn't get it in. Are you ready to take a hostage from all the social media posts that you're doing? Like being home with your family?

What do you mean? Taking a hostage from what? Like being home with your family. They're driving you crazy. No, I don't hang out with them. The house is big enough that they're doing their thing, yeah i like my own space that i can hang out in but the last post that i saw what was it you posted a meme oh the meme i just threw that together it's like uh well because that's what everybody's saying now it's like they're stuck

at home with their family and it's the boss calling and saying hey uh you're probably gonna have to stay home and work from home, but sir, I have a family. You're like, are you sure? You don't need one person in there. It's okay if the place just burns down. It's fine. I don't know. It's no secret.

I've always said I could never work with my wife. I couldn't be one of those husband and wife morning show teams. Even working in the same building, it'd just be too much. You need that escape. People who say otherwise, I think they're liars. You need that escape. Yeah. You know, people who say otherwise, I think they're liars.

You need time away. It's like getting in your car like after work in between you get home. You're like, you know what? I think I'm just going to take the long way home. Yeah. Man, can I just drive like three cities away? God, even I've never done that.

Yeah. Who do you think is going to lose it first? You or your wife? My wife because she's the one who's, you know, got to have the kids doing their schoolwork every day because the schools have sent home stuff they're supposed to do. And neither one of us are smart enough or have the patience enough for elementary school homework at this point because of thanks to Common Core.

Yeah. Like math is not the same from what you remember. So even if you know how to do it, they don't teach it the same way. So that's frustrating. Yeah, I try to teach my niece that, and I try to teach her the old way. And I say, you know what? I'm just not helping with this Yeah, you know you're like other stuff that you would do normally on breaks Christmas break or holiday breaks

Can't do movie theaters closed. No, you know, it can't take them out to you know, McDonald's or whatever You can go to drive-thru But you're like you're stuck in the house and kids go stir-crazy more than anybody I saw some my wife and I just have very little patience I saw some kids that were your kids age doing the very little patience. I saw some kids that were your kid's age doing the Skype into school thing. Are your kids doing that? No, our neighbor's kid does that.

She's like in a private school, so they have all that fancy stuff. My kids are public school kids, so they can get their assignments and everything. But yeah, they're not having to sit there and do a virtual class and see their teacher. How do they keep the attention span of these kids?

I do it. It's whack, man. Online school is so stupid. I'm talking about little kids, though. It's the same concept, though. It's the same thing. He is a little kid. Okay.

Like, how many tabs do you have open when you're supposed to be paying attention to your online class? One. What are you talking about? I'm sitting doing my classwork. Well, the best video I saw was this guy who recorded himself on loop, and then he just put it up to the Skype camera. Yeah.

And then he showed himself in bed sleeping. Well, those are private tutoring sessions. The majority of the class is just the professor standing there showing what he's doing. But half the time, like with my class, he didn't even realize the camera wasn't even on him. It's just on his home page. We're like, yo, yo, we can't see you, and he can't hear us.

So then 20 minutes into lecture, he's like, oh, you guys didn't see me? My bad. And started the lecture all over again. So then 20 minutes into lecture, he's like, oh, you guys didn't see me? My bad. And started the lecture all over again. So stupid, man. I hate it. Does that guy work for our company? Maybe. Because that sounds like something that somebody in our company would do.

I'm more curious because what he set up is pretty sick. I like the way everything's kind of set up in his little man cave. I'm more curious as to what he's watching because all sports have just been postponed. No, half the time, honestly, my wife will walk in there. The lights aren't on. It's dark in there. The lights aren't on. It's dark in there. The TV's not on. I'm just sitting there either laying down on the couch or I'm reading stuff on my phone. And it's just

quiet in there. I've got the door closed. It keeps all the sound and everything out. It's nice. See, that rules. And for whatever reason, that's the room in my house that's cooler than the other rooms in the house, like temperature-wise. Every house has that one space where it's either too hot or too... It's always cool in there, so it's perfect. Oh, that's rad. It gets all the most

airflow. The sun's not beating down on it somehow. No, it's nice and cool in there, because as a fat guy, sweating in the snow. So it's perfect. And she doesn't want to be in there, because it's too cold. Oh, perfect. Kids aren't allowed in there, because the furniture's too nice. Perfect. And you can't hear them from the outside, because it's sail-proof. Perfect.

Now that we have a little bit of sports to talk about, the draft, is it getting you excited at all about sports? No. We can't even finish up the sports that we have in progress. Who knows when that's coming back, is this going to affect other things because OTAs or

I don't know. Who knows? Football and hockey are the two things that I'm watching. Don't care about baseball. Don't really watch basketball. I just have hockey come back, finish out that season. The good news is by the time the hockey season's wrapped up, if they do start it in June, that goes until August, which means football, training camp,

and then that'll take us right to that and then to another hockey season. So we'll be good. I can pretty much skip baseball altogether. And you can just fill in with wrestling until then. Can I go home now? Yeah. Okay, cool. We're talking about this space that I get to hang out in. Well, we're going to pray for you, Woody, and hopefully we're going to get through this very, very

soon. Tom Hanks is already doing well, so that's a good sign. If something happened to Tom Hanks, panic will definitely ensue. World War III. Yeah, I'm telling you. But here's another thing. We got to shout out some other podcasts. If you might be home, check these out.
