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. I'm an expert. He has an assistant. His assistant's name is Eric. We also call him Nick Soundwave. Just follow along.

What's up? Also, he works at Fox Sports, so he knows a lot about sports. We have Randy, who's a radio DJ, and he works on the Woody Show Morning Show. Plus, we have a very, very special guest. His name is Tyler. What is up, Tyler? How you doing? How much longer do I have to be special? Forever. I think you're special for life.

Forever and ever and ever. I want to ask you guys a general question. Do you think that life is getting better, more exciting? Because I'm looking forward to next year. Are you guys in that mode yet of thinking that okay this year is gonna be a wrap yeah and then we're just gonna move forward and start doing what we did before or now i i think so a little bit but i just don't i feel like it's a weird time to publicize it because it's so hard to be happy about something right now without getting shamed you know what i don't give a

shit about that anymore you know for real like oh man oh don't show that you're doing well because it makes other people feel bad, blah, blah. I'm over it, man, because people are sensitive about so many different things. Do you know what? F it. In that case, I just bought a brand new effing mattress. Oh, I am so excited. That's what I'm talking about.

There we go. I'm so pumped. Dude, I'm so pumped. Are you just afraid to tell us that you're happy about something? No, it's just because everyone always has to shame. Not us. afraid to tell us that you're happy about something. No, it's just because everyone always has to shame, not us, I'm just saying that in general, I feel like it's sort of become reactionary amongst the general

public. I don't care, dude, anymore. You know what? But that's why I'm excited. I got a mother-effing mattress. I have something exciting to tell you guys. I figured I was going to bring it up later in the pod, but I might as well bring it up now. Because you have a bulldog. I got hired to be an MC at the National Bulldog Derby.

What? That's dope. It's going to take next year in Vegas. What? February 14th to the 15th. Wait, Randy actually got another job? How did that happen? Look at this guy.

What? Emceeing. I went there last year, and they were like, oh, would you be interested in doing this? And I thought it was going to be locally in Santa Anita Park again. And then they're like, oh, we're trying to break the Guinness Book of World Records for most amount of bulldogs in one area. So is it English? It's English and French. Oh, what?

So it's a big old bulldog meetup. Valentine's Day weekend. I'm down. Damn. So Randy is excited. Look, he has things to be excited about. Don't be all emo, bro. Wow, Randy. things to be excited about. Don't be all emo, bro. Wow, Randy. A second job.

People don't even have one right now, dude. Jesus Christ. I know. You were talking about it. I feel like garbage. Yeah, what's wrong with you? Thanks a lot. You messed up.

Yeah, I would say that it seems like things are slowly getting back to normal. They're still pushing caution on everything. But if you notice, man, people are going back to work. Even in our offices right now, we have more people showing up in the building than we've had. All the jocks are coming back. Events are coming back. Concerts are happening. Drive-ins

are happening. They're at least getting people out. People are figuring it out how to have fun. I'm surprised people aren't talking about it more. They're finally releasing that new Mutants movie. That one that kept getting postponed. And they're just debuting it with drive-in theaters so people can go watch it.

That's fine. It's going to be trash anyway. At least it's getting up there. I'm not disagreeing with them. I'm just saying. I'm excited. Bill and Ted is going to be out tomorrow or Friday. They're not holding back anything anymore.

They're like, let's just do it. I'll do that. I know Action Park, we talked a lot about the documentary that's out now on HBO Max, so make sure you watch that. I don't know. I'm doing a lot of planning for next year,

so I'm just starting to get excited again. We've kind of been in this limbo of, what do we do? What's going on? Don't know what the future is. Just start planning. Can I say something, too, that I feel like a lot of people who were born and raised

in this state have been thinking and haven't said? What? A lot of people have been talking about how, oh, a lot of people are moving to California. I, for one, would like to say good, just because this place is so populated. For real. There's so many people here, and I feel like there's so many, not to say everyone that's moving out is annoying, but the vast majority of people who are moving out, I would say are probably the annoying ones. It's like if you don't like it here, then just leave, dog.

But you've got to think of the economics of it, too. I know. Economics is one thing. I understand if you're able to sustain your family better if you moved to Nevada or Texas, whatever. That's fine. But the economics of you staying here and everybody moving out kind of burns you as well because they have to raise taxes even more which just paying taxes in the state alone is the absolute worst guys thought

we were talking about good things we are we are but i'm trying to explain to you like why that statement i was gonna say good thing people leave less traffic on the freeway that's a good thing yes with morning traffic it takes me about an hour to get home from when I leave the station to my house. When COVID was just starting, I was flying down the freeway. Probably shouldn't admit this. I was pushing 100. I was getting to my house in 25 minutes. Heck yeah, bro.

Don't do that anymore. You did that all the time, by the way. Yes, I did. Dude, the refrigerator doesn't have legs, man. It's not going to go that fast. Yeah, man, but me and Soundwave have've been saying that for a while the more people that leave we're down with it just because there's less traffic there's less people well that gives us more to do things dope leave right gives us more apartments if it makes everything more expensive

that sucks here's another thing even though i got a little pushback yeah apple is gonna have their event it's gonna be in october it's usually in pushback, Apple is going to have their event. It's going to be in October. It's usually in September. A lot of new things coming out. I'm so upset I didn't wear my Apple Watch today. I hate when I don't wear my Apple Watch. I don't know how Tyler does it.

It's a nightmare, dude. I feel like, oh, man, I just wasted the day. Yes. Guys, I gave up wearing my Fitbit watch. Why? I'm too down on the fact that I never make my goal every day, and I'm just disappointing myself. So I've just taken it off.

I'm now wearing a rubber Roswell, New Mexico wristband just so it doesn't creep me out. But I've given up. Brad, see, the solution to that is just set your goal really, really low, and that way you always kick the goals out. When the new Apple Watch comes out, I'm definitely going to get it. It's going to have some extra workout stuff. And my Apple Watch currently is only like a month old.

If you want it, Brett, I'll give it to you. I'm good. Why? I'll just disappoint myself further. No, no, no, because this way we could all shame you. On top of you being ashamed of yourself. That is not true because Tyler could never shame me. Oh, true.

So only Tyler is the only one that couldn't shame you. How many times have you worn it in the last two weeks? I'll tell you what. I'll throw it on right now. Oh my god. You know what? I'm going to stick it to you right now. I'm going to put it on. You know what? Wear the crap out of this while I'm sitting down recording a podcast. You know what I think?

Half the day is already over. I'm going to put it on. You know what I think? Why is Tyler's heart racing? He's sitting. I'm going to start drinking water. How about what I think? Why is Tyler's heart racing? He's sitting. I'm going to start drinking water. How about that, huh? In your face. I started doing that. It's crazy.

Yeah, water's crazy. Eric, I know you've been looking at getting a laptop. They're going to be dropping new laptops. Are you going to finally pull the trigger? Yeah, that's kind of why I haven't already because usually Apple drops all their new stuff in September, and then you've got Black Friday sales coming up in November, stuff like that. So that's why I haven't really pulled the trigger just yet. Because I figure I'm going to get something and there'll be something on sale or new that I want within the next month or two. Yeah, they have their no interest payments too if you don't want to drop all the money at one time.

Yeah, yeah. That new program that they launched. I just need to get something because mine is completely locked up. I'm seeing a startup disc full in my nightmares at this point in my life, dude. It's ridiculous. I have one terabyte on my laptop. It's full. I constantly have to go through it and delete things.

And the worst is when I think I delete enough, and then it tells me, hey, Startup Disk full. I'm like, god damn it. I hate when I delete stuff, and then it doesn't free up the space while I'm working on a project so then I have to save it and restart it just for that free space because there's so much RAM being used at that moment what the F is other in an Apple computer?

my iPhone has like 30 gigabytes of other it's like gray and it's like okay I'm deleting deleting deleting and it's like taking away all the stuff you actually kind of care about but it's not taken away from other ever. I've had to buy like iCloud storage for a lot of my stuff, and I spent three hours one day looking up like what the F is other,

and I couldn't find a concrete answer. It's just random background files, random cache memory that's still used. Download this Dr. Mac cleaner or whatever to help you clean it up, and then it's like, okay, cool. And then it doesn't help at all. Now I have a new app. So what you can do is if you go into the base of your program files, you can find many save memory of different programs.

That's what it really is. So like iPhoto is a great example. iPhoto doesn't just keep the photos you import into your computer. It actually makes triplicates of the files. So you have to go through into the base memory and delete all of them. Yeah, see this? See, like my Air, my MacBook Air is like a shell, dude.

It has photos, Microsoft Office, and like Mozilla. And it's still completely full. I don't get it. It's like, I have like 75 gigs of other for some reason. It's ridiculous. The worst. Oh, Tyler, how's your other size doing on your laptop? I have no idea what

it's at, but my laptop is running smoothly. Are you technologically illiterate? No, I'm just not looking at it right now, so I don't know off the top of my head what it is. Are you using your laptop currently for anything? I'm using it for this and for school.

Oh, that's right. I forgot. Tyler went back to school. School picked up. I'm enjoying that. I'm not going to lie. After two days, I'm kind of for this and for school Oh that's right I forgot Tyler went back to school School picked up I'm enjoying that I'm not going to lie after two days I'm kind of over it already But we're going to keep going Why does everything Tyler says just sound like He's saying it just like I don't know Even that I'm just listening to you And I'm just like

I can never tell I can never tell if he's enjoying something I'm actually having a really good time He sounds excited in the beginning But but by the end of the sentence. It ends sarcastically. Yeah, sarcastically. He's excited, and by the end, he's telling you how he really doesn't want to do it. From the beginning, I never, from the get-go, I'm like, this crap sucks.

School blows. Massive, massive. He's like a condensed version of Randy, as opposed to Randy being excited on day one and being miserable by day five. Tyler gets it done in five seconds. But see, the difference is I was just miserable from day one. I'm like, this is so stupid. I don't want to do any of this.

I'm really excited to be in school. I will admit. No, you're not. Shut up. Shut up, Randy. This is my segment. Let me do this. You don't get segments.

The last time that happened, I think ratings dropped. Oh, damn. Kick back, bro. I'm really excited to start school. I did drop one class that was not on me. It's just the professor for a math class was not really good with Zoom. And math is a really hard subject for me. Oh, it's the professor.

Oh, yeah. Math is a really hard subject for me. And I know that's a class I'm going to do in person. I'm about to say some stuff I probably shouldn't say on something that's being recorded, but I'll say it anyways. Tyler, was the professor just not good at what they did or just confusing for you? Not good at what they did. This dude was 60 plus, wasn't figuring it out, but it's a math class. That's something like I need to be there in person to learn a math class.

Everything else I can kind of do online. Or you could have shown but like your life depends on it i'm not going to cheat i'm not especially at math where i know like i need to get this done i'm not going to cheat at math but in return for dropping that math class i picked up two other classes that are only eight weeks it was like it wasn't culinary i have to get him for my fine arts we're actually tacking on, I believe, 14 or 15 units this semester. Are you a starter on the football team for your college or what? I am not.

As much as I wish I was, I am not. I knew someone who allegedly hired a dude from Pakistan to allegedly take his final, which then happened to pass. So you're tripping out, bro. Okay, so I need you for the air horns on this, Tyler, because I don't have access to air horns while I'm in the Bort studio right now. So I have some food news, everybody. I have no idea what's going on.

I knew it. I was like, he has no clue what button to push. I knew it. Tyler, there's a fader. He doesn't even have the fader up. There's a fader on the right. I can't hear it on my end. Okay, hold on.

Oh, my God. What's playing in the background? I saw Banjo. There's nothing playing. I'm just going to turn it down. It's not like you had six months to learn it or anything, man. Shut up. There's no tutorial videos online at all.

Okay. All right. So, anyways, after that disaster, we have some food news. I'll give you a little bit of food news That's just sad man. It's a bootleg yeah, that's so sad Tyler can't press one button all right. Let's try this one more time Tyler. Okay one more time put the fader halfway up, okay? No Okay, it's still playing he pressed the button before yeah the fader. He's Okay? No. Okay. It's still playing. He pressed the button before the fader.

He's going to have to wait for the song, Dan. Don't press any buttons. Put the fader up half. Okay? It's half. All the way at the top to the left is the air horn. Press it. Look at that.

There we go. Wow. Look at that. Age. Only took 15 minutes. Alright. We have some food news, everybody. Oh my god! Oh my god, dude!

Tyler, just hit it whenever you think is right, okay? It's not like you didn't work in radio to understand cues at all. Please, yeah. Alright, go ahead. Alright. Did you guys see that McDonald's dropped some spicy chicken nuggets? Are you all in or all out? I gotta say though, I think there's gotta be

some sort of interweb among social people that run fast food social networks. Why? Wendy's is always throwing jabs at McDonald's or Burger King and stuff. Wendy's started that type of style of doing social media. Wendy's doesn't take prisoners on Twitter. They say some messed up crap sometimes.

Because everybody was like super corporate before that. And they didn't really have too much personality. They just announced new products. And then some genius at Wendy's decided like, hey, we're going to take a totally different approach. And whoever approved it to like in the corporate side, props to them. I love that they go back and forth but the mcdonald's spicy chicken nuggets come out september 16th and i'm ready to try them i wonder how spicy they're gonna be see that's always my question because you guys know i'm a little bitch when it comes to spicy so i don't think they'll be that spicy yeah i hope not because i love some chicken nuggets i'm uh i'm also interested because the

texture of mcdonald's nuggets are different than, say, Wendy's nuggets or BK nuggets. It's like a shell. Yeah, it's like a shell, so I'm interested to see how it's incorporated. All right, I have another food news. You know he panicked. That's a cute slightly bit. Yeah, it was a panic. You know he panicked. That's a cute slightly bit. Little Caesars 50-50 breadstick pizza, August 31st. I don't know how to feel about that.

Little Caesars. So do you know what it is? So they actually take a pizza. Half of it is a pizza, like pepperoni pizza. And the other half is breadstick. Strange. So I used to work at Little Caesars back in the day. It was my very first job. And the dough for the breadsticks and the pizza is the exact same.

There's no different seasoning or anything like that. They just put kind of a sauce on the top. Like the garlic sauce or something. And that's it. I don't know. Six bucks. I know it's six bucks, but I feel like it's sort of like quality over quantity. Jesus, I can't even talk right now.

Like, do you want to spend that extra dollar for a pizza you think is superior? I mean, I would try it, but I don't think I would go out of my way to get the half breadstick, half pizza pizza. Look, if it's pizza, I'm going to eat it. I don't care. Just give me extra marinara sauce. I'm going to go to town on that. Little Caesars was for me always that pizza that I ate because it was just at

the party. Like someone's mom brought it or someone just picked up a few of them. Wow, look at Randy showing his higher class. Wow. Excuse me, I prefer higher grade pizza from a local spot. Shut up. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Little Caesars hot and ready, $5 pizzas.

All day, every day. Dude, college man, scrounge up $5.25 in your couch at the frat house. Alright, how about this? Maybe this is not fancy enough for you. I have other food news. Okay. It's quicker.

It's faster. Getting better. Domino's, cheeseburger pizza, and taco pizza on the menu right now. Taco pizza all day. Oh, is that the horn? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Wasn't this pizza something they had in Dubai or something for the longest

time? I don't know. Because you know like whenever they would showcase fast food around the world? Yeah, it's always somewhere else. Dude, I'm down for it. I'm kind of down for it, dude. Yeah, because the one in Dubai, the crust were little burger patties, like little burger patties.

Wait, wait, wait. So which one? Burger or taco though? Oh, I think burger, man. Yeah. There's a place down the street that had a burger pizza. I've had it many times before. It was pretty good.

I think I know which one you're talking about. What's the craziest pizza you've ever had? Like the weirdest pizza topping you've ever had. Do you have one? The weirdest pizza topping I've ever had. Oh, I mean, when we were drunk and we're really into Reese's. Remember the Reese's spread? There was like, yeah.

For an entire year, the Woody Show got obsessed with Reese's. Remember the Reese's spread? For an entire year, the Woody show got obsessed with Reese's spread, and I was drunk, and I spread Reese's spread over the pepperoni pizza, and I ate it. It wasn't that bad. There's a spot not too far from where Bort and I live where they have spaghetti pizza. And so it's like a whole

bowl of spaghetti. I basically make that with my Texas toast. I'll just make a mountain of spaghetti on it. Have you guys ever had a pastrami pizza? Yes. Dude, pastrami pizza is so good. They throw a mustard sauce on it almost. Oh, dude.

Bomb. So I don't know if you guys saw on What's New Pod on our Instagram page, at What's New Pod. Make sure you follow us. I posted this list, and I'm thinking about doing it. September is just days away, and it's a September food challenge. And I kind of shared it with Eric and, and Brett. I have a question. Can you do this? Okay. For the month of September, 30 day challenge, no chips, no potatoes, no ice cream, no fast food, no fried food, no chocolate, no white breads, no soda or juice, no cakes or donuts, no cookies or candy.

Can you do it? No. Which items do you think you would fold on? Potatoes. That's a problem, too, because potatoes are such a base for a lot of things. Chips. I'm a huge potato chip person. Sun chips.

I just got a giant box of hot dogs. Doritos. Yeah, dude. And that's like me and Brett back here during the Woody show. That's kind of like our snack. Chipping all day. Yeah, it's kind of our snack. Like, oh, you're hungry.

But hey, it's five in the morning. You can't exactly go for lunch yet. Yeah, like we each have like a mini bag a day. Yeah. To keep us going during the show. But I mean, looking at the challenge right now, I mean, I could get by without most of this, but soda's going to hurt. And, ooh, ice cream's so good, though.

Dude, a bread a month without soda? Yeah, no, that'd suck, man. That's his lifeblood. Dude, I could get by without breads, donuts, cookies, all that candy, but potatoes and soda, no, man, I need it. I could definitely go with cookies or candy, cakes or donuts.

I'm not a big soda person. Literally, I only drink soda here because it's just downstairs. So I pick it up. I never drink soda. I rarely drink soda. I don't have juice at my house. Don't really eat white breads.

I'm not a sugar, sugar person, so I don't have chocolate. Fried food. Fried food kind of goes in hand With fast food though Fried chicken I'd be good If none of that was around me But the second

A box of donuts Come into the Woody's show headquarters I'm done You guys have seen how Literally like it's fine If it stays in the studio In like the on air studio With Randy

But the second it comes Into my eye My eyesight Game over I'll have three I can confirm this. Eric will come in for donuts more times than Randy does. Yeah, I can't do it, dude.

And then once I've had one, it's like crack, bro. I've relapsed. It's ridiculous. And it always seems like fate would have it. We won't have donuts or something, so we'll be pretty good. And in my head, I'm like, alright, I made it. Just get to the end. And then our midday person will bring donuts. Oh, here's a whole box. It's the worst after like i bring

breakfast so like you know i'll have my granola bar eat my yogurt and banana it's like okay i'm feeling full i can get to home get to lunch workout whatever and then a box of donuts comes in at like 9 a.m and i'm like damn now i'm gonna have three donuts before yeah yeah i think i could do this i think i can do it as well the only problem is that we do have a vacation in september you gotta eat while you're on vacation. You know, if you're by some restaurants, you got to check them out. Yeah. What do you think would be the most difficult for you, Tyler?

Definitely the hardest one is going to be the fast food. But I think the tricky one that I might slip up on because I'll honestly forget is the no juice thing. We never really have soda in my house, but we always have Kool-Aid or lemonade. And I can always... I guarantee... It's like the Kool-Aid powder stuff. He's brought up Kool-Aid so many times.

You are a grown man. He loves Kool-Aid. I'm not trashing you because my mom will go out and she'll buy me the Kool-Aid jammers still. I'll randomly come across a six-pack of those because she buys them for me, but I can't remember the last time I just readily

had a pack of Kool-Aid ready to make. Kool-Aid's fire! My mom buys the whole tub that has just the powder. Oh, yeah. Oh, my. So it's not even regulated. You just get to decide. It's like the Tang version. Oh, my God. You know So it's not even regulated You just get to decide It's like the Tang version Oh my god

You know he's over scooping too He's putting way too much in there It's like pre-workout when you get one scoop It's like one scoop but there's like two inches of powder On top of it Gotta make sure it's not watery man You gotta make sure it's just right I'm gonna make it extra red

you're gonna have diabetes in like two years that's a one-way ticket to a foot amputation bro i don't even want to really bring this up because i'm a little disappointed personally i know everybody else is super excited but we did select what will randy do for money yep and i want to talk about it here because all the other options i loved, I didn't love the option that got picked. I'm a minority in it because a lot of people wanted this to happen. But you're going to have to sing a ballad on the show. That's right. And that's what got selected.

I don't know. The other items I loved. Henna tattoo on the face. Well, those are still options. Cardi B. I was a fan of the cardi b fingernails yeah that would have been like that one hilarious i get the point that yes it's radio audio payoff yeah it's instant it works it's cool but we could have had a whole week of things to

talk about when if we had the cardi b fingers or if you had uh the face tattoo both of those things we could have had a reaction from your mom we could have recapped with your mom and got the audio yeah but now you gotta sing for 100 bucks i think you got off pretty easy yeah and see it was it kind of it kind of worked it kind of worked how i thought it was gonna go because cbs is always the one guy who vouches for, hey, let's do something that's going to sound good on the air for instant gratification.

I get it. You know what I mean? For someone who still doesn't know how to run controls on a board. Yeah, great job, Seabass. But also the other options too. They're not completely out the door for future installments because you can spin again and land on whatever. So we'll see what happens.

But my thing, hold on, hold on, Todd. My thing, though, is that everyone's so certain that I'm just going to give like a BS effort. Like, I'm actually going to try. I'm going to give it my all here. Alright, good. That's the one thing that I was worried about. I just didn't want you to try to sing and then we're 15, 20 seconds in

and you start laughing and then you fumble through it for three minutes. And I go, that'd be so weak and terrible. I'm going to actually genuinely try. It's not going to be like when one of us sang Hey There Delilah. God, I hope it's... I was going to bring that up. You mean red lyrics?

Yeah. Yeah. God, I really hope it's Bon Jovi. I don't know why. I just want to see him in full Bon Jovi get up singing. Just to recap, we don't even know what song he's going to be assigned to sing. But even the overhead cost, I'm going to spend the $100 buying the costume to sing it. We'll figure out a way for this.

Don't worry about that. I'll take some red hair. You know, some of the... Screw you. Anyways, for Randy, though, some of the things that we come up with, you need to haggle your prices, man. Like the dog food taste test. Okay, I think you should do

that but 25 bucks per slider hell no well that well that was a thing i've never it never got to the point in which i was going to have to jump in and be like hey i'm not gonna do that like i would do it for for more well you know when you're talking to a car salesman you don't just wait till the end to toss out prices you know something comes up oh dog food sliders you're like oh okay you know maybe 200 next week guys're like, oh, okay, you know, maybe 200 next week, guys, but not 100 this week

or something, you know? Yeah, that makes sense. But, I mean, overall, compared to last time,

what the options were for a hundred bucks, this was definitely not as bad as last time. very true. Yeah. So, I'm sure we'll have

a video up soon. Make sure you follow at The Woody Show on Instagram and click IGTV if you want to see what will Randy do for money the last time again just go to at the woody show on instagram click ig tv here's another thing you guys do a podcast it's called tailgater sports sports at tailgate sports on instagram what's going on with sports right

now what's happening what a cluster f i don't know i like legit the best answer i can give and i'll let them tell me but i don't know because you hear people are saying they're not they're done with the season they're not playing well the last thing we saw right before we recorded was that the nba is gonna play their playoffs apparently like lebron i don't know it's it's a weird cluster f you know for those who i'm sure everybody knows but yeah you know they can't affecting all sports yeah they boycotted a night's worth the games um it's it's been weird since the beginning because a lot of the stipulations for them restarting the league or the playoffs i should say for the nba was them being able to you know express express themselves

do a little bit of social social justice stuff like that that's why they got black lives matter vote stuff across the back you know their their big hang-up for a lot of them was why are we going to leave our communities in this time of need and go quarantine ourselves when we should be in our communities fighting for change, stuff like that. So, you know, what happened in Wisconsin goes down and they're still in the bubble. So then they kind of take the power out of, you know,

some of the higher ups' hands. They boycott a day's worth of NBA games, NBA playoff games on top of that. You know, first time in a very, very long time that games of a professional sport, like teams just said, no, we're not playing. You know, it doesn't matter. So now it's spread even more.

Apparently there's going to be NHL cancellations today. There was some in the MLB the day before. So it's a little all over the place. I heard you even hit soccer. Yeah, soccer games were canceled yesterday. WNBA games were canceled the other day. So it's a little bit of a, it's crazy, man. Yeah, we're recording this at a time

where they're still trying to figure everything out. Yeah, a lot of just uncertainty. It seems like it's back on, though. Yeah, yeah. As far as we know, I think the second day, so they had the Wednesday games canceled for the NBA. I think the Thursday games are going to be canceled, too. And I'm assuming that they just started up on Friday and just remake up the games. Here's the thing.

You guys are going to record tomorrow, tailgatersports.com, so I'm sure you're going to get way more information. Yeah, yeah. Dive back into all this. So make sure you follow at tailgatersports on Instagram. There'll be some fun too, though. Stay up to date. We're going to talk about who's in our fantasy football league.

That's starting up in a couple weeks too. It's not going to be all sad talk. Here's some other talk that I know Brett can be a part of. It's called the Batman trailer that just got released. Oh boy. And the Wonder Woman trailer that just got released because they had, what's it called?

DC fandom. I actually tuned in for that. I don't know why I forgot the name of it. What are your thoughts as the hardcore number one Batman fan in the room, Brett? What do you think of the trailer? Yeah, that's right, Randy. Take a back seat. I'm actually shocked that you tuned in for it. I didn't tune in for it. Brett, what do you think of the trailer? Yeah, that's right, Randy. Take a back seat. I'm actually shocked that you tuned in for it. I didn't tune in for it.

You know what I did? I just waited for all the trailers to pop up on YouTube. Well, here's the thing. Smart move. I'll keep it 100. Yeah. I have been following Gal Gadot since Fast and Furious. I thought she was super hot, so I followed her on Twitter.

And I've followed her on Twitter ever since. And her tweet popped up right before it started, minutes before it started. I go, oh, you know what? I'm going to tune in for this. So I clicked the link and I think they did an incredible job on the whole layout of everything with a online event. It's the best one I've seen yet out of everything. I'm talking Apple and Comic-Con and things like that.

It made you actually feel like you were there and it was polished it was super super cool like when you started up the the screen it would take you through this hall and you would see characters walking in these big old screens and it was really cool yeah i mean it's pretty dope um so batman the trailer trailer thoughts i like the tone i like the dark coloring the the cinematic view of it in vibe is awesome i like it okay the action looks badass so like batman beating the crap out of the crook you know in front of the other gang members i was like okay that's intense i like that that's good um robert pattinson i think he has a wussy voice so even when he came out everyone was excited to hear him go i'm vengeance i was

like that's cool. But I've heard so many other characters say it better than you, you know, versions of the character. So that was a little, I hope you're better than this later. I know this is like not the finalized version. Maybe it's like, you know, it's younger Batman. So maybe he needs to get tougher and more scowly or whatever. He needs his balls to drop. Yeah, just a little bit.

A little more man in that Batman. Those bat balls. Like, I do like some of A little more man in that Batman. Those bat balls. I do like some of the aspects that they're adding in. The bat wings. The Riddler is, a bunch of people have noted that he kind of looks like the Zodiac Killer. Oh, okay. So they're pulling from actual serial killers for some of the villains, and that's really cool to bring that. It gives it a real life feel to it.

But, you know, give and take the batmobile menace i know you agree with me it looks jank so low grade i'm so tired of that but wasn't it wasn't the argument that's a year two batman okay but also doesn't matter that dude that fool's been mad rich his whole life okay but think about it if you're rich you can upgrade your stuff though okay but also that is bs film lineage for anyone that only watches movies to go, oh, well, he's only in year two of being Batman. If you read the comics, he has a real Batmobile by that point. Thank you.

Early Batman year one, barely starting, which this movie is actually based on the comic book year zero. Him barely starting out. That's the entire style of it, right? They just said year two to make it a little bit more polished. Year two, he has everything by this point. So you're saying that's a poser's argument. It is a poser's argument because by year three, he has Robin.

It's dumb. I hate it. I hate it because everyone just starts coming out with these buzzwords that they picked up from articles online going, oh, well, did you know that Batman has this bat cycle in his year two and he's going to go up against this? It's like, you read an article. You have no basis for this, no knowledge.

Why didn't you read a book? Thank you. Yeah, stupid. Dork. I didn't say anything. What the hell? I'm just standing here. Dumbass Randy.

Eric said you enjoy the trailer. I thought, yeah. I mean, after Brett just crapped all over it. But I'm also one of the guys in the room who has absolutely no comic book point of reference. Stupid joke. Yeah, it's pretty much where I'm coming from. I'm just coming from, yeah, dude, dark, sick. Dude, he punched the crap out of that guy.

Oh, yeah. You guys see Batwoman? That guy asked Batman who he was, and he broke his neck. Sick, man. No, but I'll give you this. It does look a thousand times better than I thought it would look. It does. On the trailer. They're filming it in

England because every Batman movie is filmed in, what, New York and Chicago? Because Gotham City is an amalgamation of New York and Chicago. Stop it, Maddox. So did you know that there's this movie about L.A. and they filmed it in L.A. but this time they're filming it in Africa.

Matt is just wiling him up so he can get more upset. I don't know what exactly he's doing. But, okay, but here's the question. But why are you so against, like, something different, though? I mean, think about it. I'm not against something different. You guys can hear me still? Can't hear you at all.

Wow. Hello. Yeah, we can hear you. It's like the voice from Fat God Buddha. We can hear you. Tyler. Oh, my God. Tyler.

Tyler. Are you guys there? Yes. Yeah, Tyler. Okay. Text him. Tell him. Okay, so you're asking me, why are you against something new?

Just redo the question. All right, so my question for you, though, is that, and I'm not attacking you, so don't get all mad at me. I'm just asking. I got you at the crosshair by batting right now. I know. I'm not even trying to go against Brian. I'm just generally asking a question for't get all mad at me. I'm just asking. I got you at the crosshair of my batarang right now. I know. I'm not even trying to go against Brian. I'm just generally asking a question for someone who actually enjoys Batman.

Yeah. Why are you so against something new, though? Like, something different? I'm not against something new, something different. What I want is for it to feel like Batman. Like, if I'm going to pick up a comic book... Oh, man. Oh, man.

Keep fucking in. Yo. Tyler. Tyler This guy man I just don't get how What has he changed on his board Every time it's different Yo dude Yo Is your fader up for the USB one?

The USB fader? Yeah. Oh, why? Turn up the USB fader. Oh, no, it's where you connect it to your headphones. Yeah, his headphones. God damn, that's right. I'm not getting levels from any of you guys at all.

For whatever reason, it's not picking up my levels either. I'm not sure why. Okay, hold on. Where do you have your headphones plugged into? They're in my laptop. Take them out of your laptop and put them into the front of the RODECaster. Okay, hold on one second.

Okay, wait. When you log back in, text us instead of saying yo, yo, yo. We're trying to push through, man. We're trying to get out of here. All right. I'm turning him off this time. Okay.

Why are you here? One more time. Do it again. Not even trying to attack you. Actual, legit question. I know you want to yell at me. Again, you're in the crosshair of my Batarang, just as always. Because Menace already pissed you off. He's not pissing me off.

I'm making points. You know how when you get near a rattlesnake, you get near a rattlesnake, a rattlesnake just starts like, I'm making points. Brett's waiting for a reason to attack me. Exactly. My question for you, though, is that, Bring it, nerd.

For someone who's a legit Batman fan, why do you seem so against something different? I'm not against something different or something new. What I want is for the character to feel like the character. And I understand having to restart him yet again into yet another origin story. But they're not doing an origin story, though. It's part of the origin story, though. It's still early Batman.

And they're still going to flash back to him why he becomes Batman yet again for the 50,000 freaking time. Everyone knows that. What I want is for it to feel like Batman. So if I pick up a Batman book, my biggest complaint is if I read the character and it doesn't feel like the character or an animated show. Wow, that guy doesn't speak like Batman.

He doesn't have a cadence or a flow like Batman. Thank you, Brett. What about the... Wow, poser nerd. I play video games. Okay. Moving on. I'm the video game guy.

This might be another sore subject, but Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman trailer. I was digging it. I've digged everything leading up, all the other trailers, all the little snippets, the visuals, and then I got cats at the end. I don't know how I feel about that at the end of the trailer. The way Brett feels towards Rob Pattinson

is the same way I feel towards Kristen Wiig who's playing Cheetah. Why do you feel so bad about something different? Why is something new? She was in Ghostbusters and she was in Bridesmaids

and so the idea of her being in a more serious role is just different. Oh, just like Robert Pattinson in Twilight and now he's Batman. Okay, I get it. But I mean, he's done movies already where he's in The Lighthouse and he's done a bunch, and now he's Batman. Okay, I get it. But, I mean, he's done movies already where he's in the lighthouse,

and he's done a bunch of stuff where he's in serious roles, but I've never seen Tristan Wake do a serious role. She has, you just haven't watched the movies. Yeah. Exactly. It's called indie films. Brett hasn't seen Robert Pattinson in serious movies. Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not such a Robert Pattinson-like groupie like you are. Like you. That's fine. You're one of the worst people in the world. We get it. You want to kiss Robert Pattinson. Maybe I do. Never thought about that. the worst people in the world we get it you want to kiss robert pattinson maybe i do never thought

about that no but i i mean i don't i've never really been the biggest wonder woman movie fan what yeah i mean what did you watch it or no the trailer yeah i saw the trailer okay how do you feel about menace's response towards cheetah which is cats well it was funny that he said that because i was at walmart and i saw the doll versions of Wonder Woman and Cheetah. And I looked at them and I'm like, why do they have dolls for cats here? I realized it was for Wonder Woman. Oh, dude, they're on clearance already. They came out like four months ago when the movie was supposed to. Yeah, the cats are weird.

It looks just like it. I just hope it doesn't ruin the movie. It should have gotten an actual cheetah. Just have it be there. No, they should have just done a better job. Oh, damn. Or a catty cat. But Wonder Woman's's dope and gal gadot is always awesome amanis i don't know if you remember because you said you know you've been a fan of hers for so long do you remember the backlash when she was casted as wonder woman and bad i did yeah and

no one seems to remember it oh no now they. Now they all love her. They think she's the greatest ever. But no one remembers them complaining about this. All right, guys. Well, that was a heavy debate. I think we're going to wrap this up. Are you sure? We'll go see what's happening. I mean, I'm sure you could talk about Batman

for another couple hours. I could keep yelling at Randy. It'd be fun. Can we go home now, please? I would love to get Kevin Smith in here and talk Batman all together. That'd be great. Dude, that would rule. I am interested to see if Brett will be and talk Batman all together. That would be great. That would rule.

I am interested to see if Brett will be as passionate towards Kevin as he is towards me. I will because here's the thing. He started the Fat Man on Batman podcast years ago. I started listening with episode one for it. And I absolutely adored and loved the podcast because he had some of Batman's greatest creators, artists, heroes, voices, everything on there. And I got into a 20-minute conversation at a convention with the voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy, about him being on Kevin Smith's podcast.

And we just dived deep into Batman. And I would just love to pick his brain on different thoughts of Batman. Yeah, he'd rather talk to him than talk to this punk-ass bitch, Randy. Yeah, hell yeah. Poser. Yeah.

Patriots, again. Actually, I do got to say thank you for at least asking my opinion on what Batman books you should read the other day. You know, not like there's any other sources for that. But I'm glad you came to me. Well, I'd rather come to you before you get all butt hurt and read the right stuff. I'm like, don't tell me what to read, man. All right, guys. Well, if you want more of that.

Is he back? Tyler? I'm finally oh god my ears it's like a ghost from the dead tyler you have feedback and your mic is way too hot what'd you do i can't hear you i have to turn you off you're redlining he doesn't have all right well if you want more of that, make sure you listen to The Bortcast. Just go to TheBortcast.com. Oh, yeah. That's TheBortcast.com. Anything that you think you're going to be talking about anytime soon that you want to tease? Nothing to tease, but if you guys want to catch up on the last episode,

it was all about DC fandom and everything that's going on in pro wrestling right now. I don't know if you saw this, Menace, but WWE moved to an actual arena, and they introduced a 360 video screen option for fans to actually jump in with, right? To be part of the action. Oh, dope. Which is great. It rotates heavily so people get to get in and you actually kind of, it tricks you for

a minute thinking that there's fans there. And then it kind of went south and they kind of got in trouble on Sunday because people started putting plushies of Pikachu. Oh no because people started putting plushies of Pikachu. They started putting plushies of Mario. There was a guy in a KKK outfit. That's not good. And then someone put a video of someone getting executed. There we go.

Jesus Christ. How do we go from Pikachu to executions? My God. I don't know. Whatever happened in the good old days, would you just show your butt or some boobs? It's funny. All I could think of as it happened was,

um, show me a nip. Is anyone screening this stuff? But so that's what they're like. Do pre-recorded footage. I don't do like the, the NBA to become like a sideline fan. It's actually a pretty lengthy process.

Like you have to register and then I'm pretty sure you get vetted. And then the teams decide who gets to get on the board and how, how God, how's it, how do they not have the time to sit? Have an intern. It's wrestling, dude. Have an intern look at the cameras and be like, oh, yeah, we should probably get rid of that camera number 14. That's what happens. But anyway, so stupid.

Talk about that on the broadcast at the broadcast.com. At the broadcast on Instagram. Of course, listen to Tailgater Sports. Go to tailgatersports.com. I'm sure you guys are going to recap everything that we talked about randy has i call next podcast about video games i didn't bring up the consoles because i know every week nothing nothing has been announced so screw all that same garbage but i call next i call next i call next podcast.com we did our we just gave away our uh i just start all humans giveaway last week oh yeah uh this week we're talking about uh the really massive event you can see it right now iconics

pod on instagram uh call of duty uh they announced a new game the black ops game but the way they did it they incorporated their very popular uh war zone game mode and so it was an interactive thing so you have to go like crack these codes and interact with the map and then at the end of it you got this big old debut trailer. And so it was really cool. So it was really a lot of fun. So what were you talking about this week? I was wondering why so many people were playing Warzone. There was video clips everywhere.

People I've never seen play Call of Duty Warzone and they were just everywhere. Well, you would have to imagine they probably took notes from like Fortnite, because Fortnite had been killing the game with the Travis Scott performances. Christopher Nolan movies were being shown on Fortnite. I had no idea Warzone was free and the same kind of Battle Royale set up, so I was in a

group message with another group of friends, and I was like, yeah, man, I never bought the game, and they legitimately shunned me. I'm like, you idiot. It's free, dummy. I'm like, sorry I get out and see the sun freaking losers, man. I was like, damn. Dude, you poser.

Go back to the Switch. You're on Animal Crossing oh god man go back to the titta switch animal crossing of course listen to nerd out podcast just go to nerd out podcast.com with ravey randy and cameron are you guys doing any more animal crossing events coming up um we do have that big animal crossing wedding thing in october okay Oh, you guys didn't know about that? What? Yeah, I don't know if this is a known thing yet. Yeah, have you put it out on podcast? Well, it's on the podcast, but I think they just haven't mentioned it to you guys on the show. It's in my queue, sorry. What? But listen to

NerdNaut to find out more about that, and then we're playing Atari 2600 games. Well, I'm trying my best not to lose my goddamn effing mind playing that stupid garbage console tomorrow, so be sure to tune in for that. And then I think we might even play Nintendo 64, which, again, another way to piss me off. That's going to be an interesting hookup. How are you going to stream that?

No, you just get a converter. Yeah, I mean, they're HDMI converters. The primary thing is I get pissed off every time I play classic consoles because of just how annoying they are to me. They hurt my eyes. I don't know what the hell's going on. Atari 2600. That's the easiest. No, it's not.

I'm playing golf, and I'm like, yo, I don't want to curse, but what the hell am I looking at? What are these pixels? Like I hit something, and then like Ravy will be like, oh, look, you hit the ball pretty good. I'm like, I can't tell. Everything looks the same. Have you ever played Tecmo Bowl?

No, I've never played Tecmo Bowl. Oh, yeah. That's just as bad, man. It's just pixelated. As we know, because Menace always makes me say this because I never say it. I'm fairly decent at NHL. I lost to Cameron

playing Wayne Gretzky's NHL for the Nintendo 64 because the controls and everything were just so foreign to me. Did you get your balls back? Then I tried playing Mario Kart and I nearly had a seizure because everything was flat.

Wait, that's the Super Nintendo. I don't even know the name of the goddamn console. Oh my god, what a kid. I'm not going to lie to you and be like, I love classic retro games. I got Nintendo 64 in my hand. Killed it. I'm always like, stupid consoles. All right.
