Starting point is 00:00:00 What's new? What's new with Menace? What's up, everybody, and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I am Menace. I'm joined by Borch, a.k. 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 the Woody Show podcast. We are joined today with our friends, Julianne. She's throwing down some TVs in the background and jumping on the microphone in a second.
Starting point is 00:00:25 She's coming out from Covina, California. And we're also joined by her friend Tyler coming to us live from Sherman Oaks, California. California. You, it still sounds weird. You know, because he spent so much time reping Whittier and reping how he was borderline Orange County. He was he was so excited. I think it was at the Brewery X event that he found one guy that was going to say, oh,
Starting point is 00:00:49 it's an Orange County basically. And then the guy comes up to me, he's like, oh, yeah, we just lived near Orange County. It's not Orange County. Totally changed his tune. That guy actually made me bad for a second. I'm like, cool. I was like, that is not what you told me. three minutes ago, dude. That guy pissed me off.
Starting point is 00:01:05 We might have some more people joining us on the pod. Maybe Eric, maybe Randy. Who knows? But we have to record today. And just, Tyler, just to FYI, if we hit the 1230 mark and we're still recording, just hop off the pod and get to the movie. Are we going to the movies? Are you going to be at the movie theater with me?
Starting point is 00:01:22 I am unfortunately not going to be able to make it. Am I going to the movie theater by myself? You might be going to the movie. Oh, well, maybe it's just me and Vaugh. I think it's you and Vaugh. Oh, wow. I know, I know. Sorry. Well, you know it's hard to nail me down for pretty much anything. Wow. So.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah. And for me, this week just turned into a giant cluster F because everything's happening at once. You know, I don't necessarily believe Tyler on this. I think Tyler is making extra for himself. No, okay. No, no, no. So a little bit behind the scenes. Yes. The sink drain pipe is all jacked up. Oh, I've heard about this. Yeah. I've heard about this. Not from you, though. No, no, not for me. I didn't do nothing. What do you mean? You're the one that uses the sick the most. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Someone's got to watch dishes, dude. Okay, like, don't get mad at me. Are you putting things in the right? No, let him explain because I'll tell you the story that I heard. Okay. Okay. So basically the person is coming over to fix it. And someone needs to be here.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I don't know if Morgan's going to be here, but I'm going to at least be here to basically make sure they get everything. You should be there because the story I heard was Morgan discovered this and then said to you like, oh, hey, the stinks messed up. up and then your reply, allegedly what I heard, was, oh yeah, it's been like that for a while. Okay, I love how this just gets totally misconstrued because that is not what I said. No, I said, of course I'm smiling. I always smelled, dude.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I said that I noticed it like that a week and a half before. Oh, yes. But let me finish. Let me finish. Let me finish. The sink faces the dining room area. So there's no wall right behind the sink. So if you accidentally splash water out of the sink, it could go over the other side onto the floor.
Starting point is 00:03:06 There was only a little bit of water. So I was like, oh, it's probably just me accidentally splashing it onto the floor. So I cleaned it up. Didn't see it again since until she mentioned something. So I'm like, oh, now this is actually a problem. So yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't. Halfway to leave you on that one?
Starting point is 00:03:23 If you are not lying and said that you didn't see any water ever since that one time. I did not swear. didn't see water. I hadn't seen water since. Swear on my life. Okay. Have you smelled mold at all in all that time? No, but then again, my nose is not the best when it comes to smelling. Yeah, true. Thanks about us. Before we get into this, what? What did I do? That was me. Like, yeah, true. I'm like, all right, what do you beat by that? He's saying I stink and I don't know. Oh, okay. Okay. He's trying to cover up because he doesn't even know who's talking. Yeah. That's literally, that's Tyler. That's Tyler what he's caught. He's deflecting and attacking now.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I'm not God doing anything. What are you talking about? Oh, God, here we go. There we go. Yeah, I'll talk about the movie thing later. But real quick, I have to do a quick correction. I said that I would be at Albertsons and Corona. I will actually be at Vaughns in Corona.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Albertsons, Vons, and pavilions are all owned by the same people. And we partnered with them for the Woody Show after our takeover at Disney, California Venture Park. And we're giving away tickets with them. And people thought that I would be at Albertsons. And they told me that, but it's actually Vaughn's. So I'm going to be at Vaughn's on March 20th in Corona from 3 to 5 p.m. So March 20th, put it down 3 to 5 p.m. I'll have a bunch of tickets for the Woody Show After Hours Takeover at Disney, California Adventure Park.
Starting point is 00:04:44 So please come out to that. Also, don't forget, March 14th, the OC Super Show is going down with the Aquabats, lit story of the year. And they have added Save Ferris. Go to be dope. So a ton of people also. So people forget that these things are also a beer fest. So you get a limited beer tasting for a certain amount of hours at these events.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Go to OCSUpreshow.com to get all the details. I think we still need a lead with the beer fest. Are you going to be able to make it, Menace? Because you said you may not. Yeah, I don't know yet for sure. Still working on that. But at least, but I, Bort will be there. Julian will be there.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Eric's going to be there. I think Randy will be there. Tyler, maybe. But yeah. Yeah, that is up in the air. I'm not sure yet. But kids 10 and under are free for the event as well. So bring your kids.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Unlimited crap beer tastings. It's all ages. There's a bunch of food vendors, food trucks and stuff. Just come on out. It's going to be a great time. Cool. Somebody just popped up right now. Oh.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Who's this? Shwing. Oh, Randy. You should know by the loud amount of room noise. Not connected to his microphone. Room noise. That would be Randy, everybody. Hey, Randy.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Hey. All right. Cool. Wait, hold on. He's fixing. Here he is. There he is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:06 What's up? I was hoping Eric could be on the pot as well. But thank you for joining us, Randy, because this next subject I was going to bring up, the last subject on the podcast was, where are we going to go to Vegas or we were going to go to Arizona, Tyler and I? And there has been a decision. Don't reveal it yet, Tyler. The contemplation was, do we go to Vegas for power sales?
Starting point is 00:06:26 and the A's versus Angels at Las Vegas ballpark and possibly UFC or do we not go to that and we go to Arizona and we go to IndyCar racing and go to Dodgers versus A's or we just scrap it all together. I gave Tyler the decision. I said, you know what? You have the 100% vote on this. What do you want to do? And Tyler's decision was Vegas.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Vegas, baby. What? Vegas, baby. Wow. Not to see the Dodgers, but to see the Angels. Well, okay, I would like to share my reasoning of that. And that is because I went to both Dodgers and Angels spring training last year in Phoenix. I have yet to see the A's potentially new ballpark while they build the current one. So I would actually like to go see the A's and Angels in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I think that would actually be pretty fun. The A, people don't realize, dude, the A's, they have a silently. nice little team like it's not i don't know if it's going to make the playoffs but they're getting there they have some guys that are coming up they have nick kurtz who's the raining raining a l rookie of the year like they they're coming up man they they could make a little bit of noise they're always like a yeah they're going to want to have a super strong team by the time they launch in las vegas full time yeah they're always a pesky little thorn in everyone's side too so i'm like yeah you know what let's do that plus i've never done power slap i've never done
Starting point is 00:07:54 UFC so I'm like you know what I've seen some spring training I haven't done indie car racing yet but I have seen spring training I'm like you know what let me get the chance to do something else I haven't seen so we'll see what happens plus I'm gonna gamble a little bit a little gamble nice yeah so Tyler you bring up a good point because people might not know this but next to the Las Vegas ballpark is two casinos red rock casino and the Dellen no god it starts with the D, I believe. But they do. Delano?
Starting point is 00:08:26 Delano. Yes, Delano. They have a A's experience there where you could see what the whole new ballpark is going to look like. So they have like a model of it and then interactive experiences that you can check out. Okay. I'm down for that. I want to see that.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I think that will be an amazing time for you guys. Opportunity to see the A's in Vegas before they actually get the full bar park is the real catch of this trip. Yeah. Like it'd be cool to see the Dodgers versus the A's, but seeing them in a small. smaller ballpark, a smaller venue, before they actually get their big state. Like, that's how many people get to say that they got to do that? Dude, I tried to do it last year for one of these games, but I ended up going to PowerSlapp,
Starting point is 00:09:06 waking up the next morning, flying to Long Beach and going to do a WSS meetup with a bunch of listeners, then flying back to Vegas and going to UFC. Oh, my God. I remember that. That was, that was an interesting weekend. I missed the game that day. So Spicey Nacho and her brother went in my place with my tickets. Now here's the real question I have messed because the last time we potted, we were talking about this trip and Tyler said that he would actually treat you help cover part of your flight.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah. You think Tyler will come through on this and well or at least at least if nothing else. He lives on his own now. He needs that money. He has a go back and so, you know. He broke the sink. Okay. We're real quick.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I'll just save you on this one, Tyler. I ended up just booking my flight without telling him. And I said this is the fight that I'm taking. On that note, I did book my own flight. So menace did not pay for me. I booked my own flight. Yes. Can you believe it?
Starting point is 00:10:01 He's a big boy now. Nice job. Now, if you want to go ahead and just book the hotel and pay for it, go for it. Well, you told me to wait. So I'm just like, okay, I'm just going to wait. See what happens. He likes sweets. He preferably not a two-bed arrangement.
Starting point is 00:10:15 He wants his own room. Yeah. You got big guys. Well, we're trying to figure out because Racine of Morgan is still going or not. And she might have to room with us. So we're trying to figure out what the hotel situations give me there. At least wine and dine menace for once, man. One dinner.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Come on. I know. Come on. I'll wine and dine you. Okay. Oh, all right. You guys heard it here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I look forward to seeing how this plays out. Going to McDonald's, baby. Let's go. Nice. Well, speaking of baseball, we've been getting a lot of highlights in our group chat of your daughter, Julianne, with her baseball highlights. And, dude, she's going hard. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I mean, Dan, we bought her. new bat that was like over $400 a ghost bat. What? I think it's, oh my gosh. Those those things are expensive as hell. Oh, yeah. That's a 400 bucks. Dude. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:04 So, that barely stretches the surface as to how much some of this stuff is, man. Dude, I'm not even kidding. When, when me and Randy were growing up, metal bats were probably like 25 a piece. Now, if you want like the top of the line one, it's close to $1,000 per bat. Are they made with fiber or something?
Starting point is 00:11:20 That's what I'm saying? What the heck's the difference? between this bat and like a kid who can't buy an expensive bat and they just have like a regular like 50 dollar like what makes it any so the ball's gonna go farther actually yeah that's exactly what makes it better so strength of the child not necessarily so the way metal bats i'll let randy take it go ahead yeah some of the bats are just built differently like the barrels and stuff like some of them are corked some of them are just a little bit more hollow just the way they're built up that's why sometimes like you'll hear about uh like if you go to a soft like an adult softball league they'll have
Starting point is 00:11:50 bats that are like 20 years old or they'll be like bats they talk about like eastern bats that that are just revered because of just how they just how they're built so like your daughter's bat for that instance it's probably i mean i obviously i haven't played baseball and god knows how long but uh i'd imagine the technology now is so much so much further advanced that they're making it's a bat but it's not though man that's a thing though i almost threw up when i paid for it trust me yeah is there like a chip in it look here's the thing that you're correct it is a bat but you don't understand everybody thinks their kid is going to go pro so you need the top of the line back well i definitely don't think she's going to go pro but i mean i don't know she'll make it like she's pretty good
Starting point is 00:12:28 julia you need a lock in right now and get your daughter into whatever she needs to get into so she can at least get like a college scholarship forget the whole i mean my daughter's not going to go pro now you don't need to like a four-year ride actually no grandie's somewhere 100% right that's what my head's at my head's at college that she's in private lesson she goes she goes every single monday for an hour she does batting for 30 and catching for the other 30 so i mean she's been doing private lessons for over a year and a half i think and i mean obviously it's showing because she just home run home run then she got a grand slam and then she's like slamming girls you know knocking them on their butts when she's catch her so she's she's just doing so good it amazes me yeah you know you need a gently
Starting point is 00:13:14 and politely take away the volleyball from her hands we're not doing this anymore Yeah, we're going. Play softball. Also, to answer why metal bats are so expensive, it says it's due to advanced engineering, high-quality materials like aerospace-grade aluminum or carbon fiber composites and extensive research to maximize performance. Are they made from Ferrari parts? 400 bucks.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Essentially. Yeah, that's insane. I would pay, I would dish an extra a couple bucks if I knew the same material that's building my bat is the same one making rockets. I'm just saying. That same material in that bat is the same material being used by Lockheed Martin. I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:50 She wants a rolling bag to like carry all of her catching stuff and then her softball stuff. Because right now she has a backpack and then she has like a duffel bag for her catching gear. But she wants a roly bag. The roly bag is like $3 to $400 depending on which one she wants. Oh, yeah. And then we spent $500 on her catching gear. Just, I mean, because it seems like your daughter's really good at the sport. Like let's just say for best case scenario, she plays the travel ball stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Just wait until you have to like come up with the money to send her like Florida. for tournaments. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't even know how I can do that because I'm going to put the other two in softball too. Scholarships? On the prize. You don't have scholarships for travel ball. I would say right now we're doing fundraising, but someone named Tyler doesn't ever want to help me.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Oh, I don't know. I have to agree with Julian on that one. If it makes you feel better, I've also rejected the Girl Scout. So, you know, it's not like anyone's getting preferential treatment. It doesn't make me. We need her to get sponsored by the local, you know, subway or something like that. Yeah. Or at least. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:55 At least the local sporting goods place. So that way she can get some free bats or just have their logo on some stuff. Yeah. How's her social media game? You know? She doesn't have a social media. Her social media is my social media. Although, look, I'm going to say this.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I'm going to say this, Jules. We saw the video in the words of Eric. we saw your kid laid the truck stick so i'm just telling you right now if softball doesn't work out get that girl on skates immediately and get her on the ice i'm just i know well see the thing is i don't know if you guys remember she was in wrestling for like three years and she quit wrestling yeah she quit wrestling because because she was sad whenever she would beat somebody and they would start crying and then it would hurt her feelings and then you got to get that mindset out of her head right now that's what i'm trying her that's the mindset of a loser not a winner we need winners exactly
Starting point is 00:15:46 Exactly. That's the mindset of someone at the Olympics who finishes in bronze. We don't need that. We go for gold, baby. Absolutely. We need gold medals up in here. Well, I actually have a story. Ooh. All right. Something that I did yesterday. So me and one of the other moms, softball moms, wanted to have a cocktail. And I was like, okay, well, I'm going to go get some buddy merry stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Is this at the game? Of course it is. Let's be real here. I mean, yeah, like I'm packing for the game. This is a bad idea. I have to pack for the game anyways. Like I got, I went to the store. I saw Girl Scouts. I got some Girl Scout cookies.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I got fruit. I got vodka. I got, you know, bloody Mary. Yeah. And so I pack everything. I cut everything up. I'm ready. I have cups.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I got ice. And I head down to the park. And I wheel my big old ice chest down, down the steps. And I'm like, okay, let's get started. So I start making the drinks. I'm squeezing the line. squeezing the lemons and then I buzzed out I like just got those little the little tiny ones the little tiny vodka's you know I'm talking about like it's like no bigger than the
Starting point is 00:16:52 oh like the little like chaser bottles yeah yeah because I wasn't trying to get wasted I just wanted to have like one or two bloody Mary's no big deal and I've seen people do it all the time but we were at not our field we were somewhere else and there were signs everywhere that says like can't have some flour seeds can't have chips can't have whatever can't have fun pretty much yeah yeah I was like what the hell So I'm like, whatever. I see people drink. I'm just going to go ahead and make a cocktail.
Starting point is 00:17:18 So I start to make one and then this guy comes over. They have a freaking security guard. Who has security guard out of freaking softball field? And he's like, oh man, you're good. Yeah, right? I was like, hey, listen, dweeb. I'm just trying to make one cocktail. Like, leave me alone.
Starting point is 00:17:34 But he's like, I got to ask you to like either dump that out right here or you have to take the ice chest back up to your car. And I'm like, all right, no worries. So then he was. walks away and I'm like dude I have other things in my ice chest like my baby's milk like I can't just take this entire chest back up so I go and I ask him I said hey you know can I can I just take the little vodka's out and he's like oh you have other things in there besides alcohol like yeah I have my baby's milk I have food I have fruit why he goes oh I just thought that whole cooler was full alcohol yeah what he's like he's oh yeah well usually what I have to do is I have
Starting point is 00:18:14 have to search, you know, your ice chest, but I was standing behind you and I thought that I saw your ice chest full of alcohol. But, but what I usually have to do besides that, besides just check it out is I have to stop the entire game. Wow. Yeah. He's like, I have to stop the whole game until you leave the field and then go dump it out. And he's like, yeah. It was like, oh my God. I was like, well, if you just let me take the little vodka bottles back up to my car, we'll be set. He's like, yeah, no, that's fine. Go ahead and do that.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I'm like, all right. So I'm like walking back up to my car and all the moms are like, did you get caught? And I was like, damn it. Yes, I did. I got caught big time. You're trying to do it all out in the open. You got to like, you got to pregame that. You got to like, you know, mix that over in your car.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah. I know. I know. No, no. What you got to do? You got to pour the little vodka. It's clear, right? You poured in an empty water bottle.
Starting point is 00:19:07 come on, Joel's, were you a rookie? But not in front of everybody. I'm. I've never done it at the face. That's what you do it in the car and then take it in the water bottles. What's the point? Then you might as well do the bottles in the car. What do you need the water bottle for?
Starting point is 00:19:18 It's an extra step is wasting your time. Yeah, it is. You take the water bottle to the field because I want to drink it at the field. I want to drink it in my car, dude. I want to enjoy the game and get time. And no one's going to smell that. This is what I need to get a smoothie and then dump some rum in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I just wanted. I just wanted one bloody Mary. I wasn't trying to get twisted. It wasn't trying to catch up. buzz like I just wanted something yeah to make I didn't even drink the day before so I just experienced tolerable yeah exactly so yeah I got busted I'm just honestly I'm kind of not over the fact that some lame ass point dextery is like you're drinking I have to stop the well because you know what I know he was like this part of their job
Starting point is 00:19:55 I don't have to tell you can have a see Tyler when you have a job there's rules you have to fall to keep your job hold on hold on now yeah oh that also you know what they have to regulate that a little bit because the parents start getting wasted and something happens they're gonna like get all extra and they're gonna be wasted in front of all their kids you never know if they've been warned about julian they have a photo of her they're like look I've seen your videos from the crews yeah you've been warned about you I feel like this has to like something to do with baseball like I'm sure a baseball dad out there got crazy and yeah of course want to yeah like to medis's point parents and coaches get
Starting point is 00:20:35 real crazy with the umpires and it's like they don't need that but like we're good but i mean it even said you couldn't even have freaking sunflower seeds there i'm like where are we hell this is awesome the field or was it a grass yeah it was a turf field yeah it was a turf field that's why they also because if the alcohol gets in the turf we're not chewing them on the turf or chewing them in the then they get all stuck in the turf yeah i get it all right uh now still lame though right so lay Agreed. Hey, real quick. So moving on, I was out and about all weekend, and I went to some old spots.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I went to the Burbank Mall. I didn't realize that they did a lot of remodeling there. It's pretty awesome. Yeah, they've been doing a lot. Is the third floor done yet? Because they were redoing, they had moved the food court down to the first floor. Yeah. And they're still finishing up some on the third.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I don't know. I did see there's like a two-story H&M in there now. So the third part, the upstairs, the third floor. floor was the H&M. Yeah, they got the H&M. They got that round one down on the bottom floor now. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, round one is dope, man.
Starting point is 00:21:43 It's so cool. The world market there is pretty cool, too. Just sort of peruse through the food courts down there too. I started on the food court when the food court was on the third floor. Yeah. That's when that's the OG one. You guys didn't look at my photos that I send over in the group chat, but did you see the thing?
Starting point is 00:21:59 Cap City? I'm like, just a total Tyler spot. Oh, no, Cap City. There's one at the Torrance Mall. I've been there at that place rules, dude. There's one in the Burbank Mall and there's literally like a thousand hats in there. Yeah. Different kinds.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Dude, the only thing I don't like about them is that they upcharged just a little bit, but I have seen some hats in there that are pretty damn hard to find. So, yeah, it's kind of worth it. Look at those photos I posted in the group chat. I know the first photo was kind of like offset so you can't really tell what it was, but go through it huge, huge. And then I went over to Glendale Mall. Yep.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Packed, man. I couldn't even get any parking. Glendale Mall is cracking, man. So cracking. They don't have an empty store inside that entire place. I mean, ever since they got the Kura in there, they got a pinini grill in there. Do you know what I'm telling you brought a lot of people? The Dintai Fung.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Dude, oh my God. I try to get a Rezi two and a half hours. Damn, man. So I end up going to Kura. What we end up doing because I've been to the Dintai at downtown Disney, we'll just put our names in, go spend time in the parks, and then come back when it's about a half hour till. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 And just do it that way. I mean, Thai fun, my God. I understand that. But see, we're talking malls. We're talking mall people here. If you're looking like an OG mall rat like Menace and myself,
Starting point is 00:23:20 man, you could burn through that mall in an hour. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of stuff, but you're on a mission. Dude, I get that. But you know what most malls have? Movie theaters and there's some time to kill right there. Well, dude,
Starting point is 00:23:30 check this out. During the holidays, I went to San Jose. California to their mall and they have a dintai we signed up four and a half hours until we got a table but that's insane yeah I just certain establishments that for me I'm just like they're not weekend places like I'm just not if I'm gonna go it's gonna be on a weekday like because like in Tai fong on a Saturday night forget it no no no shot but like on a Wednesday afternoon or something you know it's it's much more yeah I
Starting point is 00:23:59 understand it's not the easiest but hey I started going to din Tai fong in Vegas at Aria. That was the first one I started going to. And the weight wasn't that bad, maybe 35 minutes. But now, like, again, you got to start making reservations like days beforehand. I'm just, I'm just throwing this out there. Didn't Typhung before the takeover. I say we do it. Okay. We'll miss the entire takeover waiting for. We put in our names early. We go before it starts and we go get some food. Hold on. Hold on. Who's paying for this? Because I'll pay for myself. I'll pay for myself. No, you guys can pay for yourself. I'm paying for myself. It's fine. So, Menace, you were at the malls, and I know that we're a big advocate of malls here and how busy they are. I also was at two malls this weekend. I visited the Delamo Mall and Torrent with Mr. Randy here.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Hello. What? That's right. And we decided to play the game. Can we use our willpower to resist urge to spend money? Yeah, how'd that go? Spoiler it. No. Well, hold on, though.
Starting point is 00:25:00 How much did we actually spend between the two of us, Randy? A little under like $40, I want to say. Wow. Yeah, I mean, Brett almost got me on book off. Like, I was really good. And then he was like, hey, look at that. And it was like a Ghostbusters Collection edition. We were almost out of the store.
Starting point is 00:25:20 We were almost out of the store, dude. And he had to spend money. He was there. He had to spend. Hold on. I didn't buy it, though. I didn't buy it, but I was telling him. I was like, dude, I'm basically losing money by not buying this.
Starting point is 00:25:29 But here's the problem, though. So I got Randy. To buy a little gash upon Godzilla figure, you know, one of the mystery crank wheel games, right? Uh-huh. It was only like $10. Okay, I spent about $20 at the same place, you know, on some stuff I needed. And it was like model kit building stuff. And then we're almost out of the mall.
Starting point is 00:25:47 We see one more store distracts Randy, an entire pack band setup inside a miniso. Oh, hopefully he told me about this. And it immediately grabbed Randy's attention. We're in the minisole, and I decided to be the dick I am. And I go, Randy, what about this? What about that? Don't you need this? Don't you need that?
Starting point is 00:26:04 What did you find, Brett? Well, I was over out of the store, and I saw these little mystery bought Gitty Pig figures with different little sunglasses on them. And I'm like, God. Gotta buy it. That's what you get. I'm back in line. Randy looks over and he's like, hey, you see these? Like, Randy, I already had lied, brother.
Starting point is 00:26:20 But yeah, we made it through the mall, maybe spending $30 between the two of us. That's good. You guys are learning. Yes, but we also got to hang out this amazing mall, which also has a dentify. which didn't have a long wait, by the way. Wow. But it was a popping mall and Menace, the Brea Mall. I haven't been to in years.
Starting point is 00:26:40 It was the busiest mall I have seen on a Saturday. You could barely move. And new stores were arriving in there. You would have loved it. And, oh, they have the Chuck's arcade, the Chucky Cheese Arcade inside of it. Oh, rib. So I've seen it. It is a dope arcade, very cool, a little cramped.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Yeah. But very fun. That's what we've been saying with these malls is they're, coming of food and entertainment destination with shopping. So it's not just exclusive shopping. Yeah. All right. I do have to ask you, I'm moving along because I got to go to the movies that apparently
Starting point is 00:27:14 no one's going because I don't know why. I have this VIP booth at the... I didn't know about this. You didn't ask me. Come on through. Too late now. Okay. What's it for?
Starting point is 00:27:25 What movie? It's for Scream 7. It's at the Chinese theater. And we have a VIP. booth in there. Thanks to TCL and it was supposed to be everybody here in the office going and apparently it's just Vaughn and I. That's all you.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Tyler. That's all you need is Vaughn. He's a funny. He's afraid of scary stuff. Thank you for that, Randy. Yeah. That's not the reason. I'm burning through the pod.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Sorry. Okay. So the thing that I want to talk about, it is a busy week. So I'm going to that. And then tomorrow, well, after after the movie theater, I'm actually going to this pre-event for the Taco Bell Live Moss Live. remember I've been going the past couple years. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:28:03 All right. If you don't know, Live Moss Live is an event where Taco Bell lets you preview all the items that they're going to be coming out with this year, all the items until the end of the year. I get to preview them and have them. And it's awesome. I've done it in Vegas. I've done it in Brooklyn, New York. Now they brought it to L.A. But this time, they're doing it even bigger.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Today I'm going to the preview of the preview. So they have a little preview party to the actual party that's going to be happening on Tuesday and on Tuesday they're doing their live event but this time it's also going to be a concert. It's going to be Benson Boone, Vince Staples
Starting point is 00:28:42 and Doja Cat. What? Plus all the items again is pretty cool. So shout out to that and this time you're going to be able to watch it on the peacock gap. So you mean I get to watch you on the peacock app. Enjoy all these wonderful things at the Taco Bell event.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Yes. At the Live Moss event. Previewing all these amazing food items. I'm going to be so hungry, man. What the hell? It's fine. You wouldn't have went anyways. I would for this.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I would for this, okay. Julian's calling you out. I love Taco Bell because they're, they've gone past being just like a chain brand because I also follow Taco Bell's like live Moss like music program that they have. And they're always showcasing like bands and artists and stuff. It's actually really cool. It's pretty cool. I found a
Starting point is 00:29:32 healthy amount of really good music off of there. So, Taco Bo, I love you. Please invite you next time. Shut out. Taco Bell. Well, maybe next time. All right, but in between all of that, our good friend Gabriel Iglesias, he's getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame tomorrow. Wow. So, yeah, he's going to be having that event. That would be super fun. So
Starting point is 00:29:50 really, really busy next couple of days. Since we're talking about food, you guys want some food news? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Food news. I'd never heard of this brand, Johnsonville. Johnsonville, they make sausages. Johnsonville.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Johnsonville, they're coming out with Dr. Pepper flavor sausages. Are you all in or all up? I am 100% in. That is so cool. Okay. I do love Dr. Pepper. Yeah, I'll try it. Also on the Tick-Tac tip, Dr. Pepper, they're going to be having a flavor as well with
Starting point is 00:30:23 Tic Tacs. I thought that already came out, but apparently not. I'm pretty sure we have some in Bort's studio. The Dr. Pepper ones? Yeah. Okay. Maybe they're coming out with a diet or zero. I don't know, but it was presented as new news.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Also, in the Oreo game, now we tried the Marvel ones. We brought them up, the Marvel color-changing Oreos. Yes. Menji was nice enough to grab some, and he brought them into the studio. So they make your mouth blue. Now Oreo is going to drop their. Dr. Doom cookie where it makes your mouth green. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Hell yeah. I'm in. Fun. Now, if you're really into getting protein and you want proteins because you're taking like GLP ones and things like that. Protein. Now they have these things called Quest Chips.
Starting point is 00:31:15 They've really popped off. And you see them everywhere. Well, Doritos is coming out with their own version of Quest Chips and they're going to be protein for chips. Okay. I'm here for it. I'm going to try it. Yeah, totally in.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I mean, I need to read the packaging to see, like, how bad they are for you or how good they are for you versus the Quest chips. How much protein? I don't know. No, just that they're coming soon. I mean, I do love the Quest chips. Like, they do not have a bad flavor in their entire lineup. So if you had the taco ones, those are good. Taco ones are really dope.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Yeah. Have you tried the barbecue? Yes, yes. Also good. They have a spicy one. So good. So that is your food. news. Oh, what else did I have? Anything else I want to hit you with? Oh, do you know what place that I finally ate at that I've probably seen for the past 12 years because I went out to a bunch of, again, I went out a bunch of places this weekend. And every time I went out, I went to go eat somewhere. For the very first time, Sharkies.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Oh, nice. First time. Really? I believe it's my first time. I believe it's my first time ever at Sharkies. Really? I mean at the actual restaurant. I believe people have brought in pizzas before and I've had those. Okay. In the office. But I've never gone to an actual sharkies and ate at the sharkies. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:32:37 And these are sharksies. Crazy. That used to be the it place to go drink. Sharkies. My 20s. Sharkies makes pizza. They also make their nachos in the pizza pan. So if you want their full size nachos, it is extra large pizza size.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I haven't been sharkizing right then. Oh my God. That's what I was about to bring up. up, Bort. So ordered some nachos. Do you even know the portion size? Yeah. Holy crap. The plate is a large
Starting point is 00:33:06 pizza. Yeah, brother. It is huge. So I was going to say Hey, life hack, if money's tight, dude, spend 20 bucks on some nachos. You could probably feed like three people on this many nachos that they give you. You can feed more
Starting point is 00:33:21 because there was a sharkies nearby my high school and junior college that I went to that's what we did man we would go get the nachos there and he like a whole table of us and keep us going through the day it's dope so here's another thing how are people living because shout out to sharkies for giving you a huge portion of food for 20 bucks but i also went to the philly cheese steak spot for two regular meals not no two small meals not regular meals two small meals it was almost $40 yep food is freaking expensive, man. That's the thing, man.
Starting point is 00:33:58 There is no pay... The idea of paying for convenience is not really there when it comes to fast food places anymore. You have to know which places have the best
Starting point is 00:34:07 quality for your buck now, right? So like Taco Bell, McDonald's, sharkies, these are all places that you can actually get a good amount.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Raising canes. Yeah. You know, you can get good money for your buck. But then there's other places like the Philly Place or Sabaro even in the mall.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Did you see the price of a slice of Sabarro in the mall? It is $20. Oh, hell. For an extra large slice. That's why Wendy's recorded a really bad year this year. They let go a bunch of people and close a bunch of restaurants. It was because they brought a new CEO
Starting point is 00:34:38 and he started toying with this new pricing method where the price of the food would go up during high traffic times and would go down on low traffic times. And so because of that and just because of the overall cost of things, people have just been like, I don't want to spend this much money. And there's a couple of chains too.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I won't shame him. I'm always saying Wendy's because it was like in the news. but I go there dude and like for a burger and fries and a drink it's like 20 bucks yeah it's great and I'm like dude I might as well just go to a high end restaurant I'm paying the same amount of money so that's exactly there was a gown TikTok who was trending for a minute because he was saying that it's cheaper to go to like chilies at lunch and dinner and stuff and like pick stuff off their menu than to just cook at home and I get it because like I just dude I just ordered literally an hour ago I ordered some ingredients to go pick up at the store and it's $65 and this is for one meal.
Starting point is 00:35:29 So for like all the vegetables, all the stuff we need $60. And it's like, I could have just gone to a restaurant. So that's exactly. I got to hit up all these. That's exactly what happened to me. I went to a fast food chain and I was ordering, you know, they're impossible, whatever, beyond meat burger. And I was like, hey, two of those. And they're like, all right, cool.
Starting point is 00:35:44 That'll be $35 bucks. I'm like, $35. Is that for the meal? Nope. $45 bucks for a meal. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to go to the bar down the street because they actually have good food and I could get drinks for the same amount of money, man. Yeah, it's insane.
Starting point is 00:35:56 And also with this whole conflict in the Middle East, they said that gas prices are just going to skyrocket because they're cutting off the supply. Dude, what is happening? How do people get by? I don't get it. We don't. We have credit card debt.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I guess, yeah. That's why I never understand when people say, how are you on credit card debt? You need to live below your means. That's not a reality anymore. People have kids. They have pets. They have bills.
Starting point is 00:36:21 They have medical bills. They have to pay for this food that's over the top. And now gas. And we might have a state mileage tax soon. Like we're all screwed. Downer, sorry. All right. Not to be a downer.
Starting point is 00:36:34 But rice and beans, baby, rice and beans. Yes, but also shout out to Sharkies that has a really good price. Yes, shout out to Sharky. I love you. If you're in the Burbank Mall or Glendale Mall or any of these malls, there's usually a pinini grill, super good on quality of food and price. Yeah, also a small pro tip that I've also discovered, too, just like being around town. Like, if you pass by mom and pop restaurants, usually they'll have like specials mapped out on their, on their windows and stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:00 And like, if you try enough, you can kind of map out a week's worth of specials just scattered around the city. So it's, that's what we do. Tacros sometimes on Wednesdays, fish tacos on Thursdays. And then two for one chicken bowls on Friday. Yeah. Well, good luck, everybody. It sucks out there right now. Rass and beans.
Starting point is 00:37:17 All right.
