Episode Date: December 8, 2022

On this episode we talk Cosplay Con, Super Bowl Parties, Ugly Sweaters, Food News and More!

What's up, everybody, and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Metis. I'm joined by Bort, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. He has a former assistant that is also on the podcast. His name is Eric.

He works for the NFL Sports Podcasting Network. We also are joined from Houston, Texas. That'd be heavy T from the Better Sports Network. We also are joined from Houston, Texas. That'd be heavy T from the Better Sports Network. A lot of sports on this podcast. Too much for Bort to handle. He does not like that. No. I mean, if you guys want to talk about skateboarding or pro wrestling or anything else that's fun, yeah. Sports. I mean, we could talk Dodgers and Braves between me and Eric. Well, we'll get to that. I have some sports stuff to bring up later in the podcast.

But last podcast, we did bring up a lot. The scandal at the wedding. Tyler trying to pocket the $20 or $10, we found out, of the money dance. And a lot of people asked us, like, hey, post that video. Post that video of Tyler pocketing the money. I eventually did at what's new pod. You be the judge on Instagram. And Eric, you already chimed in and you said it was sus.

It was a little sus. It was tucked back. I mean, he's not even in the video. He can't even tell what you're doing because he's trying to hide it so much. You know, look, man, I was drunk. Leave me alone. All right. He's trying so hard to tuck it away.

It looks like he has like the was it the Arthur meme where it's it's a ball yes a lot of people said that i'm like yeah you sent that to me and i'm like i'm like what is this video of oh the money's in there i'm like dude he straight up clenched it and he's he's he's heading home with it if you don't call him okay i'm sorry what am i supposed to do wave it around and be like oh my god i got money yeah that's what you're supposed to do that was the whole point, that's literally what people were doing. You're literally supposed to wave it, come here and dance with me. It's literally what people were doing.

If you want the full story, you can go to our past podcast, The Scandal at the Wedding with The Money Dance and Tyler. What a sketchy mother effing. Anyways, Tyler, I was talking to you off the podcast and you said you're moving back monday yeah los angeles it hasn't hit me just yet that i'm leaving but i well no here's the thing i think it will tonight because tonight we're doing one last bar trivia with all my friends and everything

and then once i start hearing like the goodbyes, then it's going to kind of hit me like, oh, crap. The tears. A couple of days. Yeah. Over under on Tyler's car overheating on the way here. I think I'll be all right. He is driving in the winter though. So it's a little cooler. Oh, he'll be using the heater. So that'll take heat away from the engine.

Okay. That'll keep it from overheating. But Tyler, how many inclines do you have to go through to get back here? Honestly, I don't think that many. It's just a straight shot on the 10. And when you're in the South, it's mostly flatland. If I hit any really hilly area, probably be in New Mexico. And even then I don't remember it being that bad. There's one in Arizona. I'm going to give you guys the Arizona one. I've been through that one. Yes. Okay. All right. So

the state line of Arizona, New Mexico, that's where it happens. Yes. All right. That's where he breaks down and calls us. These are just, these are parts of drives. I just have no desire to ever experience. I'm like the border of New Mexico and Arizona, the border of New Mexico and Texas. I'm like, I could probably go through life and be happy that I never experienced that

part of the world. Dude, the border of Arizona and New Mexico, that's something wild, man, because you all of a sudden go from Arizona, and you're like, okay, cool, it's nice and whatever. You pull over in New Mexico, oh, it's open carry, man. Everybody's loaded with guns, and you walk in, and you're like, this is weird.

And it's flat for days. Oh, yeah, mega flat. It's crazy. Dumb flat. All right. Well, Tyler, are you excited to be back? Because you can go to things like LA Comic Con, which Brett and I went to. You can go to these things with us.

Are you excited about that? I'm down. I'll stop by, say what's up. Yeah. Brett and I went to LA Comic Con. We went to the first day, which was Friday. We got like, I'm not even going to give you the full details but we got a vip entrance without even asking for it we pretty much parked and walked into the venue by accident dude straight

front of the line literally yeah it was crazy but we walked through all the booths ended up spending some money brett spent some money i went a little crazy which one of us spent more money though menace because i don't know i couldn couldn't tell. You're buying up things left and right as well. Yeah, you know. It was for me and my wife, okay? So there was two. You guys saw the videos that I sent over. Menace went a little jib crazy.

He jibbed hard. I jibbed hard for my Crocs. We wandered the entire con and there's everything, man. Everything you could ever want. You could get original art from comic book artists. You could voiceover actors live action actors you could get etsy items action figures plushies everything what's the one thing menace is looking for jibs where did jibs at and i was complaining like because somehow we were missing where the jibs were and then we found one booth yeah and we found another booth and then we found the mega booth

you guys saw the video of the mega booth like all of a sudden there's jibs it goes stretches around the table and they handed him a basket a mother effing basket and they're like here load up as many as you need yeah and i just started throwing them in i lost track on how much money i spent but brett oh i know i i quoted the wrong amount. I thought I spent 70 bucks. I wasn't going to correct you on the air. All right. How much do you guys think that menace spent on jibs? I'm saying 150. I'll say 150 was going to be my guess.

I'll go a little bit higher. I'll say 175. You both are wrong. It was actually about $95 to $98 total. Oh, okay. And three tables. That's a ton of total okay and three tables though that's a lot of jibs yeah but there was a lot of exclusive stuff that you couldn't get anywhere else so i went full hammer if there was more booths i probably would have made that 150 mark third booth they had the exclusives man so every dude they had chicken wings. Life-size chicken wings that you could put on as a jib. Somebody at my job has those.

I think Randy might have sent the picture. Yeah, the KFC ones. And literally, yeah, they're about like four to five inch big drumsticks on your feet. Dude, that's a legal weapon. I've been thrown out of places for less than that. Come on. It was a lot of fun. Eric, Tyler, both of you have these at sporting events of kinds.

You kind of lose track of how much money you spend. Oh, yeah. Especially, I mean, well, cons might be a little different. When I go to sporting events, you know, the beer is flowing a little bit. Oh, yeah. So then the day gets a little fuzzy. And then you throw the beer on, and then you get a little sauced up, and then you're just kind of swiping in the gift shop or the team store at the end.

And then the curly fries at the end yeah curly fries oh yeah then you're like i spent how much on beer and then oh yeah that maybe that oh yeah get get the hat that you already have at home but there's another version on the way out you know you're leaving and then there's another booth that has different items and then maybe there's an away team kind of a thing you're like oh that's a cool collab maybe i want that you're sitting there you're a little fuzzy already and you're like oh last call let's squeeze in another double fister oh yeah yeah so maybe that had happened when we passed by uh you know there was a store called nico stop and maybe they had a bunch of blind box pokemon figures and i went you know i could get a couple of these one other thing i want to bring up you know brett made this

observation when i was doing all these videos of all the cosplayers at L.A. Comic Con. And you can see the video on my Instagram at Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E. The observation was there was all these artists with booths who like made comics or different characters. And then there was booths of people, random people who dress up as these characters. Which booth has the bigger line? Let me ask you, Eric and Tyler. Which one do you think? Oh, the cosplayers.

I'd have to agree with the cosplayers. Yeah. I mean, here's an example. One of the co-creators of Venom. Literally, the artist that drew Venom has a booth in Artist Alley, and there's nobody in line. But there's a girl dressed up as some version of Venom. Oh booth in Artist Alley and there's nobody in line, but there's a girl dressed up as some version of Venom. Oh my God, 20 people long. People like Brett who know the game and respect the overall encompassing aspect of it all, that's the Venom line. Hey, dude, that's sick.

Hell yeah. Let's take a picture. Let's chat it up. They want the experience. But you got a lot of horny people that, hey, there's a chick half naked, but she has like a little Spider-Man tattoo. She's Spider-Man. Let's go take a picture with her. Trust me, people are playing the game. And so much so that this weekend in Las Vegas is CosplayCon at Caesars Forum.

Now, I'll give them some credit because some of the costumes I see online, I'm sure there's a whole other aspect world to them that I don't even know about. But I do see the ones that put in a lot of effort to look like them are wild and insane. Yeah, they're legit. One girl, Menace, it was in your video from the video game Darkstalkers. It looked really dope. We had Batman.

It looked really legit. His cape actually folded upwards and like stayed in position yeah one of the girls on her instagram has like 500 000 followers on her tiktok's like 2 million that's the dark stalkers one yeah yeah so leanne dr sunshine had a friend in her master's program famous cosplayer no she's like swear to god i swear to god i'll ask her and maybe i could find i'll send you guys her her instagram profile her Instagram profile. She was like a little Spider-Man girl, basically. There's money in it, man.

Spider-Gwen. Leanne just said over to me, Spider-Gwen. Wow, that's awesome. I mean, look, you make a lot of money doing that, especially if you decide to go the OnlyFans route. Oh, you'll make a ton of money doing that. Oh, yeah. Like, was Delafine or something like that made crazy money?

Hey, man, again, don't hate the player. Hate the game, dude. They're wrecking it. You know what? It's one of those things where it's like,

you just kind of wish like back in the back of your mind. It's like, damn, I wish I could do that. Why didn't I figure this out? Why, why wasn't I like born super awesomely attractive that I could cosplay as these characters?

I know lots of money. I wonder who is the most famous male cosplayer. Oh, it's definitely not me. I don't have the right midriff for it. Dude, you could be the Hulk, bro. Yeah, the Hulk's fat cousin. Yeah, sure.

Anyways. Yeah, did you see Cartman as the Hulk? Leanne's friend, real quick. I'm going to send this to you guys. Leanne's friend has 472,000 followers on Instagram. Oh, and I'm sure on TikTok it's way more because whatever it is on Instagram, it's times three on TikTok.

It's insane. But, Tyler, you should do some research. If you want to become a cosplayer, go to Vegas this weekend. Go to CosplayCon and do some recon on that. Speaking of Vegas, though, I was looking up tickets for the Pro Bowl games, and it's happening February 5th, 2023. Not that expensive. You can get some tickets to get in the stadium for like 35 bucks. They're doing it a totally different style this year, right? It's going to be all about skills. Pro Bowl is kind of falling off. Nobody really cares about

it. I mean, and every year it just becomes more of everybody. It's one of those things people like to complain about every year and it's become cool to complain about because the game itself sucks. You know, it's these superstars who they're not even tackling really they don't want to you know yeah they don't want to injure themselves yeah i mean it's basically it's a two-hand touch that's what it is yeah i get it i i'm on their side yeah yeah so now they've kind of said it will f the game entirely they're kind of making it i mean it was gimmicky anyway so might as well just lean into it and i think the manning brothers are going to coach the two teams afc nfc so it's going to be basically like a skills thing there's gonna be some like one of the big things they've been

trying to push lately is the dodgeball aspect of it there's a dodgeball game okay i haven't really watched yeah i haven't really watched it in a long time either yeah i'll check it out but i was looking i was like oh well do i go to vegas for the pro bowl which is on february 5th or do I go to Vegas for the Pro Bowl which is on February 5th or do I go to Arizona for the Super Bowl February 12th Lundale Arizona and check this out I did some research guys

the grong party is on Super Bowl week will be better than Pro Bowl week that's for sure I know it's the Vegas aspect of it gives it already like plus 10 but Super Bowl week will be better than Pro Bowl week. That's for sure. I know it's the Vegas aspect. Yeah. Vegas aspect of it gives it already like plus 10. But Super Bowl week is a little more. Oh, dude. Prestige.

The party in Arizona. Forget the Gronk party, which is already going to be lit. There's going to be other parties that are going to be awesome. I went to a direct TV party where J-Lo performed in Minnesota. And it was awesome. Shaq was there at the time who she was dating from the Yankees. Alex Rodriguez was there. A bunch of stars were there. And you know, we were

talking, Vegas is the aspect of the Pro Bowl you want to go to. But that's not, you know, Arizona holds its own. Trust me. The same weekend that the Super Bowl stuff is going on is the same weekend that the Waste Management Pro whatever, that's a golf tournament. And I know golf whatever, but this is one of the

rowdy tournaments it's the waste management open i believe it's called no it's the same weekend as the same weekend as the super bowl and it's known it's known for being the rowdy tournament on the pro golf tour because okay it's by asu and it's like promoted as like the one where the college people go to and they have a grandstand on the 16th hole where it's like literally it's like it's promoted as the golf tournament where people go and just get wild a grandstand on the 16th hole where it's like literally it's like it's promoted as the golf tournament where people go and just get wild for the weekend. Like am I even going to have a place to stay if I go out there?

It's a peak sports weekend in that area. It's going to be huge. Here's the plan. Tyler will break down in Arizona anyways. I have to go pick him up. No, no, no, no, no. So he'll start making, you know, camp there already, right? And we can send him out one of those crates, right?

And he can start making a mobile home out of it. Sweet. And then you'll have a place to stay. Easy. Done. A pod. Cool. So I guess I'm just living in Arizona for like two months.

Yeah, you can do it. You got it. And then you haul the rest of that back or just leave it there as an attraction. Heavy tea lived here. One other thing about Vegas. I did see the news. I don't know if you saw the news that if the A's did move to Las Vegas, they wouldn't have to pay that moving fee that people were talking about.

Yeah. They're so gone, dude. Yeah. They're so gone. When I was in Oakland months ago and I was interviewing the ace fans they're like yeah they're gone they're just so gone to vegas yeah they i think it was manfred he just had like a because they just had the owners meetings in san diego and he's like yeah the time for resolution of this is past like they're so gone it's over it's it's just a matter of vegas getting their

stuff in line to make it happen on top of that you have uh all the free agent signings going on right now and like everyone's signing like all these big name dudes right well the a's have signed two utility guys who are in their 30s so they're just like we're just gonna lay low bottom of the barrel dudes pay the smallest salary until we move to vegas and then we'll explode yeah i also saw that the angel said that they want to sell before the start of the next season. What do you think about that? What do you think is going to happen there? People are just going to buy it and then that's it. They're just going to stay.

I mean, it's a sports franchise. Someone's going to buy it. It's just a matter of working out all the kinks and all that stuff in the contracts. They probably also want to get a new owner out because going through another season with an owner that's not going to be there after after that season it'd just be a mess entirely and then also i heard with the nba they at least said that now that um organizations can buy teams because like in the nfl it has to be one person that is mega rich that can buy a team that used to be the nba rule where it had to be a single person that would be the owner like a um an investment firm couldn't own a team but they changed the rules on that

is it the same rules like that for baseball well i mean disney owned the angels like like in the 90s right no well i know they own the hockey team no no they own the ducks and they own the angels oh that's when yeah that's when the angels for a minute that's when the angels changed their logo it was like the ca logo and then they did angels in the outfield the movie oh yeah i'm not sure it was the ca logo because they were still uh when it was the ca logo they were the california angels and then they switched over to anaheim and that's where you have the famous logo of the a with the winged angel on the side um so that's where you have that logo so yeah disney owned them for a little bit and they're probably kicking themselves in the ass because

they're like we wish we still owned them because we could have that property yeah and then technically you just go down the freeway and look at the dodgers they were technically bought by a group magic johnson just happened to be the face of it because he was the most recognizable but that was technically a group purchase so yeah i think that rule applies in baseball as well. Man, what a crappy CA logo. Can you imagine getting a tattoo of that on your arm somewhere? That CA logo is legit. I actually like that logo the most out of all of their logos.

Really? But, yeah, that would be dumb to put on your arm. Yeah, to get a tattoo of that? Shut up. You've got to be a legal moron. I would respect the California Angels more than the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. That's for sure. Yeah, true.

Now we get to wait for their next name, which will be the, well, I don't know. What do you guys think? The Riverside, California, Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles? Or do you think the Nashville Angels is still a possibility? No. No Nashville? I mean, Tyler would do great in Nashville. There's milk mamas as far as the eyes can see.

Oh, God. All right. Do you think Tyler's mom listens to his pod and is just like, what are all these secrets that they're telling me about my good Christian boy son? He pockets money. He goes to parties and drinks,

and he's out late. Do you have a female that's upset about you leaving the state of Texas? Yeah. Do you have have a female that's upset about you leaving the state of Texas? Yeah. Do you have somebody in mind that's upset about you bouncing to California? I actually do know one person that is pretty upset about it. Wow. No, but here's the thing

is that I don't care. I'm fine. Wow. Jesus. Okay, here's another question. Do you have somebody in mind that you're excited to come back to the state of California for? No. Okay, let's call that. That's a lie.

There's a tear in my beard because I'm crying for you, dear. That's definitely not how country music works, but okay. Okay, okay. Follow-up question. Is that person that you're allegedly not excited to see do we know her and do we need to ban her from no there is nobody wait i don't know where you guys get this from there is no question tyler so you're leaving on monday what day what day will you be back uh i'm hoping to be back no later than Wednesday afternoon.

So that'd be the 14th. So the 14th, over under the 17th, that's the first Saturday he's back, apparently. He's already made a trip to the beach and posted it on Instagram. Oh, dude. Away under, right? It's probably Friday night. Friday.

I wouldn't take that bet against him being at the beach it's the vibe he might go to the beach first and then go home i already invited him to a football game and he denied me so okay already guys no no no no no no i told you like because i'm already skipping this Sunday of work to finish up the packing because I'm leaving the next day. And so I told him and it's like, oh, hey, I can't really miss two Sundays of work in the middle of the football season.

Dude, it's Wednesday and you can't pack up. Sounds like he's wasting time imagining the beach and the poems and all the things he's going to write and all the milk bombs. All that stuff he said he doesn't have takes a long time to pack. Yeah, bizarre. Alright.

It sounds like he kind of contradicts himself all the time. Oh yeah. Guys, I have nothing, okay? It takes a long time to pack all that up. You guys think he just pockets money? He pockets the truth at the same time. Alright, speaking of food. Food news? Y'all in?

Alright. In-N-Out Burger. Are you all right speaking of food food news y'all in all all right uh in and out burger are you guys in to the ugly sweater game are you ugly sweater fan i have a couple but they're all given to me i got one from uh seth rogan movie oh was that sausage the sausage party one no he had another. He had like a Christmas Hanukkah movie. Speaking of Sausage Party, they're coming out with a series. Yes. One from there. And then My Mochi. Oh, yeah. Ice cream.

They sent me one. So those are the two that I have. But do you guys have any? I have one that actually me and Dr. Sunshine, we made that I usually re-wear because it's so great. You knitted it? Yeah, we made it. So like legit, like we bought some stuff because it's so great you needed it yeah we made it so like legit like we bought some stuff and um it's basically a reindeer that look you're looking back at it and you can see instead of you know um the front of the reindeer rudolph's red nose you see his

blue balls oh sweet and it has like uh it has um blue ornaments hanging from it. So it's like a 3D little thing I built. I'll send you a picture of this one too. Awesome. That's funny. But that's the only one I have really because I just kind of re-wear it when I need it. I haven't been to an ugly sweater party in a while though actually. I only have one and ironically it's a Star Wars one.

Sweet. It was sent to me years ago by a listener and it uh it's it's a palpatine one so i will wear it for about an hour on christmas and then i get rid of it cool because it's it's itchy it's hot i don't like sweaters i hate yeah anything like that i don't wear mine because i run hot as well yeah i can't do it i can't handle it man and i'm too frumpy to wear it because they they uh they snug oh yeah yeah it because they snug. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And they snug on the sides, but then the front, they don't snug. So you're like, what are you doing to me? Tyler, do you have an ugly sweater? Never owned an ugly sweater in my life. How? You know what? Here's the thing. I'm not a big sweater guy. I'm not a big fan of just long sleeve sleeve shirts in general i just i don't know you

gotta show them guns like look i'm gonna be honest i'm a bigger dude i get hot okay like that's what happens look look i can't hide these iconic tattoos from the world okay gotta let people know well the whole reason i brought all the ugly sweater stuff up is in and out is actually putting out a line of ugly sweaters this year so if you want to get those you can hit up their website but here's a here's a funny fact um i i was looking up something else for chipotle to see if they had a certain item but they're already sold out they were doing like these um surprise boxes you buy a box it has merch in it also it could have like a 500 gift card or something like that.

Totally sold out already. But surprisingly, on their website, Chipotle has like a crazy amount of merch. Any merch you can think of, they have it. They have sweatpants, hoodies, t-shirts, whatever you want. And they have a lot of them, like a huge selection. I'm a little surprised by this because you think if And they have a lot of them, like a huge selection. I'm a little surprised by this because you think if they had a good amount of merch, they would actually at least try to rep it in the store.

Hey, you could buy a pair of sweatpants. Like, you know who does a great job of that? West Coast favorite, Tommy Burgers. You go to Tommy Burgers, in the window, not only can you order food, they're like, do you want a hat? Do you want a t-shirt? Like, what do you want? We have a Christmas ornament, everything. I mean, most In-N-Outs, too, have a little, I mean, it's not much, but they have a, hey,

you know, a seasonal shirt and a hat package hanging on the wall somewhere. Yeah, right when you wait in line. If you want to see this lineup of merch from Chipotle, go to chipotlegoods.com. And Bob's Big Boy. Yes. Oh, yeah. Bob's Big Boy has a little cutout, basically. A ton of stuff.

Oh, everything. All right. How about this? All in, all out. IHOP reveals a new mini blueberry pancake cereal. All in, all out. I'm all in. You all in?

I love blueberry pancakes. And cereal for you. And cereal. I think I'm all in on that, too. I love, honestly, blueberry anything. Like blueberry pancakes, blueberry donuts. A good blueberry muffin, it hits the spot, dude. Nice.

See, I'm out. I love blueberry stuff. I love pancakes, muffins, donuts. Oh, the Hostess little blueberry mini donuts. Oh, so good. But cereal form, anything cereal form just does not do it for me. It's always a letdown. I always expect the perfect taste, and then it's just, eh, it's whatever.

I'm a little iffy on it. I'll try it, though. Speaking of blueberries, you know who loves some blueberries? My two little dogs. They love blueberries. Now, Chimmy, she's like a hungry hippo, dude. I pop blueberries across the room and she'll catch them like no problem. It's awesome. Don't you love animals?

You do one thing and they'll never forget, man, for the rest of the time. I know. It's like women and wives. They'll never forget, man, for the rest of the time. I know. It's like women and wives. They'll never forget it. True. Speaking of which, wives, I just want to point out, Eric is still officially married. I know, right? Yeah.

I haven't scared her off yet. I haven't scared her off. Wait. How many weeks in are we now? Saturday would be, where are we at? Three. Yeah, three weeks on Saturday. Happy anniversary.

It is a little weird saying wife. It is bizarre. It kind of feels I don't know if Mess has the same thing, but once we finally did it, it was like everything feels better now. You don't have everybody bothering you for anything. This is the natural evolution

of what it should have been. It feels more comfortable. For sure. Tyler's next. I don't have to have everybody bothering you for anything. This is the natural evolution of what it should have been. It feels more comfortable. For sure. Tyler's next. I don't know about that. I mean, he at least would be a baby daddy to somebody one day. I mean, that's why the girl's pissed he's leaving, man. Yeah, true. I know.

He's going to leave her and her kid. Exactly. I know. One last piece of food news. I finally went to Silver Lake Ramen, which is popping up all over la and i like it it was delicious one thing i one thing that did happen to me though when i was at silver lake ramen which i shared on the woody show and uh i'm sure eric and tyler you haven't heard yet i was at silver lake ramen it was at night and out of nowhere some kids came in and started to

try to sell candy bars like they do out in front of stores and stuff. But they were in the middle of dinner and like they're hitting up each table like you want to buy a candy bar. I go, no, I don't want to buy a candy bar. And I share this story. And apparently it's a thing now that kids are going into restaurants and trying to sell these candy bars. Dude, they got no... No shame. No shame whatsoever, man.

They got no hindrance. They're up in every store. They're up in every restaurant. It's either them or those fake-ass discount card bootleg things. Oh, yeah. That you see 10 kids get into the back of a sketchy van afterwards after they've taken down all your information and stuff. And these kids were selling the candy bars. They take

Venmo now, man. Yeah. So the excuse, like we mentioned in the previous podcast of I don't have no cash is totally gone. Here's the thing. They're like, oh, we're selling it for the YMCA. So I'm like, there's no way. So we did some research into this and apparently there's like candy

pimps out there. So there's the ringleader and then they send out all these kids to go sell the candy bars and then the kids get like a little slice candy bar pimps oh for sure google it okay my dad made my dad used to make them give him their spiel like he's like if you're gonna get a dollar from me i better hear you tell me at all like lay it all on the line for me oh i won't because he was too nice but yeah he would he would test him at least first so but you know honestly i'm really surprised that like no management or whoever runs the restaurant just didn't oh no they were trying but here's the thing there was that one dumb ass customer or is like oh i'll i'll hear you out i'll buy some candy

so now the restaurant looks like a holes They're trying to kick out these kids while a customer is trying to buy a candy bar off them in their own place. See, look, here's the thing. Okay. You got to be, and I'm going to be honest and I'll tell you a story about this right

after when it comes to like kids just running around and like in a restaurant or like in a store or whatever, you got to be firm on it. And you gotta be like, no, like all of you get out. I don't care if I look like the biggest a-hole here. So this is maybe about a month and a half ago.

It's a Saturday at the store, we're really busy, right? And these four girls come in and they look like they're like 11 or 12, right? And they immediately run to the back of the store and I'm kind of looking at them and you could see that they're like just giggling and they're hiding or whatever. And I'm just like, okay, I know what's going on here. So as soon as I figured that, these four guys about the same age run in after these girls.

And they're trying to start to run throughout the store. And I looked at all of them. And I said, nah, like all of you need to get out. Like you all need to get out. This is not a playground. Yeah. And so they're walking out the store. And like I'm literally playground so yeah and so they're walking out the store and like i'm literally checking out the customers they're walking out the store right and out loud just i'm like i hate kids right so i say this

out loud one of the kids straight up looks back at me and i straight up yelled i was like yeah i'm looking at you buddy look at it wow look at dude I do not care, bro. He put that manager badge on, and he's ready to go. I'm top dog here. When it comes to kids running a store, I do not give a F, dude. Get the F out of my store. I hate you. Get out. You're not buying anything.

Leave. Wow, Tyler Hardcore. I hope that happens to us when we're around one day. Right? I will do it. You will film it. Oh, my God. I'm going to look like the biggest a-hole ever. I don't care.

I really don't care. He takes their box of chocolates and smashes them on the ground while the kids run away and then he slowly picks them up. He's like, I'm going to save these for later. These are kind of good. These are my candy bars. These caramel.

Alright. Well, one last thing. I can't believe that the year's almost over i know that's a thing on the woody show when we say we can't believe but i really can't believe it because uh the woody show party is like less than two weeks away with the offspring in downtown la la live at the conga room like that's gonna be here before you know it and then we're gonna hit new year's and then the the year's wrapped up. I don't know about you, but the year went by pretty freaking fast for me.

Probably agree with that to a point. I feel like the spring and the summer kind of dragged on a little bit, but I feel like as soon as it hit October, the rest of the year just absolutely flew by. Start wrapping up. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

I mean, i had a lot of stuff going on obviously but i was actually talking to somebody about this the other day it's like if i go back to the end of well to say my bachelor party you know it's like i had so much crap between weddings um that i was in that i attended. A new job tossed in the middle, and then just the general end of the year festivities, man. It's like November might as well have been like two and a half days in my mind. It was a blur and a half.

Your car was totaled in the middle of all that, too. My car was totaled. I got a new car. Dude, I'm telling you, if you go back to the end of maybe August, the amount of crap that I had go down was insane. Yeah, but you're here. I am here.

I'm actually doing... I texted Brett about it earlier in the week. It's like I feel like I've gone on the other side about it. My wife just turned 30, had a birthday party for her on Saturday. It's like my mom's birthday... I don't know if I brought this up in the podcast,

but you guys know my mom's birthday is also on the same day as my wife. It's been a hell of a couple months, man. Yeah. Well, what about you, Brett? Dude, the whole year, blink of an eye. It just feels like it was just, like, one speedy train. And then even when you look back at it, you're like, that happened this year?

Like, it feels like it was so far away. But at the same time, like, I usually go to, like, the same, like, things every month or same shops every month, and then I'll go, has there already been a month since the last time I was over here? Yeah. And it's just in complete disbelief that, you know, I mean, even how long Eric's been gone. I know.

It seems like he's been gone forever now. Forever. At the same time, it feels like he, like, it was in a blink of an eye, but it's been months. Yeah. And it's been gone forever now. Forever. At the same time, it feels like it was in a blink of an eye, but it's been months. And it's just kind of crazy. It's probably one of the speediest years I think I've ever had. And the COVID years feel like an eternity compared to this, which I enjoyed them.

Don't get me wrong. I like being alone. So that was awesome. But, yeah, this year just feels so damn fast, man. Yeah. And, like, I felt like we went from zero to nothing going on. And then nothing ever happened. Just ramped up.

Every weekend, we're going hard, doing something. And then again, with the show, the Woody show, now we have four new members. That's a whole thing. Yeah, we have three new ladies that work know we have that's a whole thing yeah we have uh three new ladies that work on the show that replace a lot of people and we have a new gentleman that's gonna be starting with us at the beginning of the year that's gonna help us with our daily videos again our new randy dude it is i think that is tripping me out the most of anything i think i mentioned this on a prior podcast but it literally feels like and i had this in high school when all your friends leave and go do other things they're like

i'm gonna go to this school i'm gonna go to options for you i'm gonna go home studies and then you're just like where did everybody go like all my friends are gone i don't know where they're at and there's all these new people you're like oh this is cool but then you're like god i'm like the old person around now man like everyone's like all freaking out or they're hyper, you know, intense about things. You're like, guys, just calm the F down. I'm too old and too tired for this crap. We've been doing this for a minute. It's going to be okay.

Yeah. Sorry, I'm choking on something over here. That's just Eric being emotional because he knows how much we obviously miss him. I know. Well, it's just what I was saying. It's like I got a new job and then yeah, I forget sometimes

that there was a whole other side of me getting a new job that sent you guys into a whole whirlwind of a chaos at the end of the year. I've tried not to loop you in on too much of it. Cause I was like, he'd feel bad at this point. I don't want that. I've been looped in enough though.

It's not been an easy thing. Yeah. It's been, it's just been crazy. And like what? Uh, the latest member, Morgan, we just got in the last week or so. Yeah. And then just been crazy. A rough ride. And like what? The latest member, Morgan, we just got in the last week or so?

Yeah. It's crazy. Other people are gone, and Sammy's been here about a month-ish, and then Caroline about that same thing. Yeah, and then we have a guy named Vaughn signing on. It's just wild, man. Yeah. And you know what I get to do now?

I'm the person that gets to say, Oh, you missed out on all these cool people that were here. Let me tell you the stories of them. This is what Eric used to do. This is what Randy used to do today. Four times. Oh,

the long, long ago, Morgan saw our hall of fame wall. And she's like, is that an actual taser prong? Yeah. Yeah. We shot Randy with it.

If you're lucky enough, you'll get tased before you leave. She actually said that she might be down for it. All right. There we go. When Randy got tased, I think I mentioned to you guys, yeah, I might be kind of down. My mom heard it live on the radio, and she texted me because she knew.

She's like, don't you dare. Don't do it. Come on, Mom. Come on. Not that I want to spill some tea on her, but you know Caroline, who took Eric's spot. So she mentioned on the air that she did a certain recreational

on the air during her getting to know you, right? So her mom was listening. Oh, no. And she was like, wow, I get to find out that my daughter did this on the radio. Wow, she already got a get to know you, huh? Geez. And Tyler got a first impression. It's like I never existed

over there. It's okay, because you know what? F fade into the darkness guys that's all you got i never got a getting to know you either ever i listen to everybody else's 85 times that's for sure oh yeah well see those are now dead now because um you know i actually i can maybe i can say this match real quick for anyone that usually complains about us going on vacation, which means I'm usually around anyways, all these beautifully handcrafted rerun shows, the best of as they were, this is going to be the last time you hear any of these. Because of all the changes on the show, I'll say it,

because this is my department, officially, you will never hear these again so enjoy them one last final time with all the people you heard on mike so if you love sea bass getting put on blast for a secret ex-girlfriend enjoy it one last time one last ride a lot of changes and we'll see what happens in 2023 all right right. I got to wrap up this podcast. I mean, we're going to see Eric and we're going to see, unfortunately, I mean, fortunately, a lot of Tyler in person.

Don't worry. I'm unfortunately going to see you too. Oh, whatever. Metis loves you the most, man. Come on. He's always like, MET is coming, yeah. It might've been with you guys,

but I remember on the side chat I had with Randy and Tyler, but I was like, okay, what is it going to be? One invite over with Tyler to my apartment before he gets uninvited forever? Maybe. Hey, man, come over and watch the game with me and Randy. It's like, well, you're never getting invited over again. Oh, dude, do you know what's cool, though?

I'm really excited that we're going to, I mean, Brett's not going to be there because he's not into sports, but we're going to have a super sports weekend. It's going to be awesome in February. So we'll be all together checking out some soccer and we're going to check out some hockey all in one day.

More details on that on a future podcast. And we can't get through one podcast without mentioning Randy. We almost did. We almost did. You did text us a hilarious video of you pulling up to your house and randy in the doorway waving at you with a cat in his hand and he looks like a homeless person have you done more wellness checks i know you work with them but have you like you know took him off to the side and checked in with them seeing if he's doing okay

kind of ragged yeah unless randy's going work, it's like a caveman, dude. He opens the door and takes his Amazon in. He scuffles it in. But yeah, he has this little cat now. Another Randy shout-out. I'm playing in a softball league with him. Surprisingly good at baseball, guys. Surprisingly good.

I know we gave him some crap back in the day about him overselling his past baseball endeavors. Surprisingly good. Not going to lie. Locked down third baseman. Wow. Do you guys got uniforms and everything? No, not uniforms.

But we played with the NFL team in a local rec league. And some of the plays, I legit high-fived them. It was impressive, some of the stuff he's done. So I will give him credit on that. Can we get this on video? Come on, dude. The offense leaves some stuff to be desired. But he's not a liability on defense.

I will give him that. He's a lockdown third baseman. Do you need a groundskeeper? Because Tyler's moving back home, and he might be available to... I actually do have a baseball field groundskeeping experience in my previous job experience. All right.

Well, let's wrap this up. It's getting cold, so that means hit up Blankets by Tracy. Blanketsbytracy.com. That's T-R-A-C-E-Y.com. That is Eric's mom's website where she sells blankets. And I use those blankets every day. There's a prefula of different blankets available for you to buy.
