Not the worst that I've ever had it, but it was annoying enough to where, you know, you're just coughing a lot, which is... What a quote. Not the worst I've ever had it. If you guys have heard me cough, it's... Yeah, dude, if you guys have heard me cough, it sounds like a frickin' Jurassic Park Velociraptor. Not good. So, yeah, it's annoying, dude's annoying yeah but you're on the mend

Yeah. Well, you promised last time you were buying everybody dinner.

I don't remember that. We'll see. Oh, we have the audio. I think I remember that. Yeah. Well, good thing none of them have heard this. Okay. All right.

Let's move on to the next subject. Let's just get it out of the way. Eric, how are you feeling after that Bills loss? You all right? Yeah. Have you recovered? Same crap, different year, man. You know, so many people like being a Bills fan, you know, going to work for the NFL, everybody's watching it. You go in the next you recovered? Same crap, different year, man. So many people, like being a Bills fan,

going to work for the NFL, everybody's watching, and you go in the next day, everybody's like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so callous to it at this point. I mean, I'll fly my flag next year, game one of the season. I fly it every game, every Sunday. I rep my gear. I mean, now I can kind of rearrange my closet

and put all that crap to the back and pull the Dodger stuff to the front. It's the same crap, different year, man. Heartbreak is here. Josh Allen's the back and pull the Dodger stuff to the front. Yep. Nice. It's the same crap different year, man. Heartbreak is here. Josh Allen's the best quarterback in the league, and it's just wasting away because he's played so good in these games. I saw a stat.

He has like 30-something touchdowns and four turnovers in three games against the Chiefs in the playoffs. So the Chiefs are averaging like 36 points, and we're still losing by one score in every game. He's playing phenomenally. We just can't get a stop, ever. Yeah.

My Holmes is great. Don't get me wrong, but I'm at the point now where I've hit my breaking point. Kansas City can fall off the map, and I would not be upset about it. You just got to be a fan of a terrible team so you never get your hopes up. That's the key. Honestly, this is the point. We had that debate because me and Randy work on a show where the main host is a Jets fan. And both the Packers and the Bills had similar fates,

both lost in the divisional round. Both kickers missed a kick, kind of was the doing in for the team. And he's a Jets fan, and he's like, well, you know, he's like, trust me, you can either be a fan of a laughingstock team where they haven't made the playoffs for 13 years. You at least want to have a shot. It's like, yeah, I guess, but

at some point, it's just like, dude, just put me out of my misery in week 16. Eliminate me from the playoffs. I have tweets. I have tweets. Facebook memories and tweets come back across your timeline and stuff. From 2012, I hate being a Buffalo Bills fan. It's just like the same crap, different

season, man. It just sucks. I'll be there week one next year, right? Sign me up like I'm an effing drug addict. Yeah, people are blaming the kicker, but the kicker was just going to tie the game. He wasn't going to win the game, right? Yeah, and then Patrick Mahomes gets the ball with, like, what, a minute? I know, as he always does. That's what happened today.

Josh Allen and the Bills could have won that game right at the end. They had plenty of opportunities. He threw it down. It was Diggs, right, that missed the ball, missed the catch. Yeah, that 60-yard bomb, probably the best pass of the year. Right there. From 11 to there, 34, something like that. In his hands, he drops.

We missed a throw to, I forget what, Shakir, because Chris Jones backed our guy up into him, so it falls at his feet. So why is everybody getting crazy on the kicker dude the kicker had to delete his social media because yeah so that's the play that's going to be remembered but yeah you get a stop at any point in the game maybe you wouldn't buy a touchdown instead yeah but so everybody's also pregnant right now and and all these no no it's all tied together and so all these teams are advancing my family is huge 49ers fans die hard and of course the 49ers are are advancing and if they end up going to the super bowl it's

around the time that my sister is due so if she ends up having the baby on super bowl day i don't know what my family is going to do. Because they're going to want to watch the game. But I talked to her about it. And she's like, I guess I'm going to have to wait. Because you know the family. They're going to want to watch the game. Look, this is why you have a birth at home in one of the birthing tubs.

And you still have everybody partying. Tell her to have a pool, a little mini pool in the living room. It's a pool party for the Super Bowl. Come on. She pops. No. Then you guys can pop her a bottle of champagne. Nah, dog.

Ain't going to happen. Who catches the baby coming out? Eric, you're good with your baby. Julianne, you're good with your baby. You guys are good? Yeah, yeah. We're all good. All right.

Good. I got some emails from the people. You guys ready? You want to hear this one? Yeah. These would be great. They're always a yeah. We're all good. All right, good. I got some emails from the people. You guys ready? You want to hear this one? Yeah. These would be great. They're always a blast. Yeah, right.

For Tyler, too. Oh, yeah. This one does involve Tyler on the first one. Of course it does. You guys can participate in it if you want to because I think you might have some input. But, Tyler, you go first, okay? So email from one of our favorite emailers. He always has some good ones, Mr. Grimace.

He asks, Tyler, Mary F. Kill, Sugar Mama edition, Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, or Mackenzie Bezos, who is Jeff Bezos from Amazon's ex-wife, Mary F. Kill. Oh, okay, hold on. I got to think about this for a second. This is probably going to be obvious. You obviously don't know what Mackenzie Bezos looks like. No, no, no, no. I can think about this. Look, look, look, hold on. I got to think about this for a second. This is probably... It's got to be obvious. You obviously don't know what Mackenzie Bezos looks like, so... No, no, no, no, no.

I can think about this. Look, look, look, look. I know what she looks like. However, here's the thing. She ain't getting that Jeff Bezos money no more. The well's going to run dry at some point. Yeah. That plays into consideration.

Are you high? Do you know how much money she has? He doesn't know anything. Dude, I know how much money she has. How much does she have? How much does she have, Tyler? She has over, like, $100 billion, because I remember she got, like she have, Tyler? She has over $100 billion because I remember she got half his money.

She has $40 billion. Oh, $40 billion. That well is not drying up anytime soon. She's going to be out on the street very soon. Not enough for Tyler. Not enough for Tyler. I'll tell you what. I'm probably...

Damn. I'm probably killing damn okay okay you know what this is this could be i'm probably killing off oprah if i'm whoa probably killing oprah all right because i don't know martha stewart is she's cool she'll give me lots of food yeah well okay look that's part of it but she's also got she's also got hookups with snoop do, so that means a lot of free weed right there. Yeah, probably kill Oprah, F Martha, and then marry Bezos' ex. Mackenzie. Probably do that. Okay. Anybody else want to step up to the plate?

Eric, what are you going with? Yeah, I'm probably going that same order. Really? Oprah's dying on everybody? Wow. Brett? I mean, I've always heard Oprah rich, so maybe I'll swap Bezos with Oprah. Okay. And also then- That's Oprah bringing to, so maybe I'll swap Bezos with Oprah. Okay.

And also... Let's Oprah bring it to the table. I can get my own talk show. Okay. I can explain it. Alright. You get a prize and you get a prize. I get to be that person. That'd be cool. Now... Okay, so Mackenzie, I think she's out. I just don't really know enough about her. What I do like about her, though, she does give a lot of

money to charities, so she hooks up a lot of charities, so she takes care of a lot of money to charities so she like hooks up a lot of charities so she takes care of a lot of people with the money that she got but you do have martha stewart now i don't know if you guys um googled martha stewart thirst trap photos oh no but she ain't looking bad for her age she's worth $400 million. I don't want to Google search this. I don't. I really don't. I'm doing it now. She could cook for me constantly, but I hear she can get kind of crazy sometimes.

Like, you know, I think that she'll be reprimanding me constantly. If you marry Martha Stewart, you're only in for like five years, dude. She's 82. Yeah. So you have Martha Stewart. True, true. But then you have Oprah. She's dude. She's 82. Yeah. So you have Martha Stewart. True, true. But then you have Oprah.

She's 69. She's worth two bill. So I think I'm going to F Martha Stewart. Hopefully I'll get a dinner out of it. And then I'm going to marry Oprah because Oprah kicks it in Hawaii. She's worth $2 billion. How much more money do you need? And she just goes to awesome parties constantly so your life is kicking in Hawaii going to awesome

parties and everybody worships you and you got enough money to live on for the rest of your life yeah you're like the trophy husband at that point I think I'm gonna marry Oprah has 22 million followers on Instagram yeah you knew he had

some ego on it. All right. So that's what I'm going with. So, Tyler. All right. Another email from the people.

Wendy. Oh, what? Because I'm a girl. I don't get it. Oh, okay. Go for it. No, I thought you were going

the same way as me. Okay. So, Julianne, what do you got? I would kill Martha. Okay. And I would F the Bezos chick

and then marry Oprah. Okay. Is that what you said? That's not. No. I was going to F Martha Stewart. Oh, okay. That's right.

That's right. Yeah. Okay. Another email from the people. It is from Wendy in Whittier. She says, what's up, Menace and crew? I'll see you at Racing Cane's on the 30th. My question is, what was your drink at 21 and what is your drink now? I'll go ahead and go Fireball and Jackfire or anything with grapefruit is my current drink of choice.

But when I was 21 years old, dude, it was Long Island and Audiosus straight up. Dude, every weekend straight up, dude. Every weekend going hammer, hammer. Oh yeah, I was doing that all day long. We're at a club or a show or somewhere and you walk by with that bright blue and you're like oh man.

That bright blue AMF, you could see it a mile away. By drink three, you don't even know where you're at. Alright, Eric, you go first. You're a connoisseur of 21 uh my at that specific time i went through a big um jaeger meister and monster oh wow jaeger bombs a lot of 21 oh geez but then yeah then i transitioned really quick back to like vodka red bulls and that's been my drink ever since but 21 like i don't know why i went through a quick couple months where it was just jaeger bombs monsters and jaeger just walk around parties all weekend hell no julianne shots it would be um jose cuervo jack yeah jose cuervo or jack that was like go-to and i i'm not really into mixed drinks, but if I did, it was the same as you,

Menace, the Long Island or the Audios. But if it was beer, it was a 211 still reserved. Oh, okay. All right. And the nights that I would drink, yeah, the nights that I would down a tall can and still reserve, I would also drink it with my Jose Cuervos. Oh, hell no.

I couldn't buy that for anybody back then. They're like, what is this? Oh, my God. It's crackhead beer. What's your drinking choice now? Now I like IPAs, 805s, any IPA. I just love them. Okay.

Brett. 21, I was drinking. have you guys seen these it's the bacardi mixed bottles that are about a liter yeah yeah yeah so we were heavily into those so bacardi zombie bacardi hurricane bacardi bahama mama and also juice was huge. That was the competitor to Four Loko. Dragon juice, tiger juice, jungle juice, and then Four Loko. So that was then. Now I'm a basic white ass bitch. I'm just drinking beer and IPAs and stuff. All right. I mean, it's good though.

Tyler? With beer, when I was 21, I would drink Corona a lot and and I would drink Bud Light, and now I can't stand either one. Okay. So now it's 805 pretty much for beer. That's the only thing I want. Why can't you stand either one, Tyler? Yeah. They just taste.

I don't know what it is. Do you have your transition from Coronas to Modellos, because that's what I drink now if I want to compare. I will drink Modellos sometimes. I like Pacifico a lot more. My go-to is Modelo. Yeah, Modelo all day. It gives me the craps the next morning.

And you got to have it in a bottle, not the can. Yeah, true. You have to have the Modelo in the bottle. For liquor, though, it used to be anything with tequila. It still is anything with tequila. I just love tequila. But I've also added vodka red bulls to that oh yeah um so but it's funny because you mentioned it uh i i used to be

one of those dudes same thing that is where i would drink amfs and i remember one time we went out with a bunch of friends i think i was 22 i had seven of those things. Oh, come on. I was dead the next day. I remember that. Apparently I hated myself, but whatever. This explains a lot. You said it like I should be like, wow, dude. This is like a can upside down

Like what kind? A slice of American yellow cheese and then put it in the microwave for like five, ten seconds and it melted. What? Yeah. I forgot. I didn't do that. Where's your dad originally from?

Is he from the West Coast? My dad's from Buffalo. Buffalo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I hear it's like East Coast Midwest thing to put cheese on He loved doing that

Apple pie with a slice of cheese on it You put ice cream on it, vanilla So every Thanksgiving my mom makes A cheddar cheese apple pie Where's it at though? I'll tell you what, around November I'll give you guys a call and see what's up Do you also throw ice cream on top of it

As well? With the cheese? I never have, but I'm also not the biggest apple pie guy. Oh, okay. Wow. Wow, that's so interesting. Shocking. Okay, how about this?

Are you into this? Would you do it? They have a new flavor of Oreo. It's called the Cosmic Cream. Now, if you buy this and you scan the qr code you could enter to win a space ship journey on a craft called neptune is basically one of those balloons that goes up to the stratosphere six hour journey that has wi-fi it has a bathroom they're gonna have cocktails and of course a bunch of oreos would you enter that contest Would you go up in the space balloon?

Yeah. Yeah. I would do that all day. Yeah. I'd rather do that than a rocket, to be honest. Hard pass. I'm good. Hard pass?

Wait, you're the one that wants to go on all these airplanes and stuff. No, we've had this conversation. I have no interest in space. Don't want to do it. Don't care. Just, no. Why, if you could do it, would you do it? No, I still wouldn't.

I do not care. If you got a free ride you could do it, would you do it? Yeah. I still wouldn't. I do not care. If you got a free ride. Why? I think these rides cost like $250,000. I mean, it's not space space. It's like lower orbit space. I mean, it's like being in a plane, Tyler. Come on.

Tomato, tomato. Oh, that's, I know. If we're going to go to space space, like it better be space space. It's not even space space. But you don't want to go space space. Yeah. So now I have even more of a reason not to go wow this is what do i say eric oh here he goes like circling back or what whatever way the wind's blowing i don't i don't know where the footage is but we have definitely had this conversation before i want nothing to do with space i will stay on that hill footage but you'll eat the cookies yeah well

the cookies come on yeah for sure i think it's on that balloon it's gonna be more like a 12-hour flight getting up oh wow oh look i'm just saving people time there you go my bad uh the cookie is actually called Space Dunk, and then the cream inside of it is called Cosmic Cream. So pick it up. I think it just went on sale right now, so you can enter to win a space flight. I'm down for that. I'll do it.

They have a space bathroom. They have cocktails. They have a lounge to kick it in. I'm down. Imagine saying you took a dump in space. I know. I'm dumping on top of all y'all some other news one of our favorites are my favorite at least arby's is selling a two dollar

key chain that will unlock free cheese dip sauce all year long for 2024 so if you want to dip your curly fries in it or dip your sandwiches in it. A $2 keychain, that's kind of like what they do with Wendy's, where you can get a free Frosty for a year if you buy this $2 keychain. Well, I guess apparently Arby's is doing their version with cheese sauce. I don't even know how close Arby's is anymore. The one in Downey became a Dunkin' years ago. Oh, really? Yeah, the one in Whittier, ironically, also became a Dunkin'.

I think they're owned by the same people, actually. Yeah. The one in Whittier ironically also became a Duncan. I think they're owned by the same people, actually. The nearest one from me I think is in Lakewood. Lakewood Mall. Is Brea not that close to you, Tyler? No.

Is there one in Brea? To me, I have one in Chino Hills and Upland. Look, guys. Tyler's now closer to one in Chino Hills and Upland. Oh, look, guys. Tyler's now closer to Downey than he is Orange County. Interesting. The wind is changing. I forgot. Do you like Arby's, Tyler?

Hell no. Arby's is gross. Are the sandwiches reminding you too much of your ex-girlfriends? First off. See what you did there. Got to go horns all day for Tyler. Second. Everywhere I go reminds me of her.

Arby's, number one, they have the grossest tagline of all time. We have the meats? What? That is just gross. Like, what does that even mean? That's number one. That's what you're starting your argument with? They have meat.

Well, number two, here's the other thing. Number two, I don't know anybody that actually goes to Arby's. I'm pretty sure this place is laundering money. I do. They got a really good beef and cheddar. Didn't they have enough money to buy Buffalo Wild Wings a couple years ago? Like a couple billion? Where is Arby's getting this money from?

What is happening here? Because people still go. And they're part of like also- Who is going to Arby's? Me. I went three times in one week. Three times in one week? That's disgusting.

The sandwich is gone. Their bread on their sandwiches is so fresh. And they melt the cheese. Give it to me. Haters gonna hate. Tyler, just because. It brings back bad memories. I get it.

I'm just not going to Arby's. just because it brings back bad memories. I get it. Whatever. No, dude. I'm just not going to Arby's. I had it once. It was gross. Someone queue up a yellow card on Ocean Avenue for Tyler's email. How about this, Tyler? Maybe you can give us some information on this. Disneyland is now serving a new Mickey-shaped churro cream puff.

Did you notice anything when you were at Disneyland, Tyler? Because we saw your visit on social media. Did you pick up any food items while you were there i did pick up one of the things uh it's actually the thing i mentioned last week that uh churro funnel cake with the ice cream on top oh yeah oh my god dude bomb that thing is so good it's absolutely delicious so tried that and then the golden horses, which is right there kind of by Big Thunder Mountain. So they started serving buffalo chicken tenders, which were great, by the way. You know people are mass ordering these things because you walk in and the smell of buffalo just absolutely stings your nostrils as soon as you walk in. Oh, I love that.

It's amazing, dude. Nice. So good. How was your Disney adventure? i haven't been in a while i want to go you know what that was the first time i'd been there since uh in over a year i think since november of 22 i did not know that apparently they're shutting down uh haunted mansion for about a year yeah because that's getting a mass renovation project they're redoing the front so they can make the lines

better yeah and I guess they're adding like some garden area to it that you can go through so they're doing that Splash Mountain is still closed I believe until at least the later half of this year they were gutting out everything from Splash Mountain and replacing it with Princess and the Frog

yeah you didn't hear about the Julian no it's been like news for the past four years under a rock sorry i'm just pushing out babies all the time yeah i know if you are going to disney i do know this the radiator springs racers will be going down for about a month at the end yeah we heard about that it's crazy that hurts yeah i gotta get down there it's gonna be fun i want to try this new churro cream puff it looks pretty good uh last podcast though switching up gears last podcast we had all the rumors for coachella we had all these epic headliners that might be playing like the rolling stones taylor swift

justin timberlake and guess what didn't happen any of those people is it was like a wah-wah and then we basically just got a basic lineup that a lot of people are saying are mid did you guys have any feedback about it um i'm stoked for ante up it's a dj duo a pair of djs i mean i always like the djs this uh sahara 10 you know all that crap do lab yeah that's one of the ones that stuck out to me it doesn't seem people are too excited about this lineup because you can still buy tickets which is insane because coachella is always like an instant sellout so that lineup dropped so it allowed everybody else to drop their lineup it seems the thing that people

were excited about the most at coachella was the No Doubt being on the lineup. But then they dropped their lineup and then all these other lineups starts dropping. And guess who's on them? Gwen Stefani, right? Oh, yeah. So I watched Gwen Stefani about two years ago for New Year's. I was at the Venetian in Vegas. And guess what she does? She does all the No Doubt songs and then her songs. So if she's on these other lineups, like what's the big deal of them being at coachella here's the other lineups that i kind of like a lot it's cali vibes it's happening in february from february 16th to the 18th people on the lineup gwen stefani slightly stupid sublime with rome wiz khalifa revolution ice cube the roots and a whole bunch more then you have lovers and friends in las vegas This is a massive lineup. Let's see, when is this?

This is happening in May. You have Janet Jackson, Usher, Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado, Ciara, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Nas, Ludacris, Nelly, Ja Rule, Ashanti, T-Pain, Akon, Neo, MIA mia and a trillion more people then here's another lineup that's local the just like heaven festival you have the postal service phoenix death cab for cutie the war on drugs mike snow passion pit two-door cinema club fanagram metric

tegan and sarah washed out sles, CSS, and a ton more. So I don't know, dude. I think they kind of got dumped on this year when it comes to the Coachella lineup. Yeah, Kelly Vibes is one that's always on my wife's radar because she's into that reggae kind of sound. And one thing about Lovers and Friends, that's only one day, right, Minnis? Yeah. That's a dumb amount of people on the lineup for one day of a festival I know it's cool

you're in and out you don't have to be there multiple days I like it the only people I see on here that I know are Doja Cat and Lana Del Rey yeah for Coachella for Coachella yeah Sublime's there they'll be cool

I did see that I saw Taking Back Sundays on Sunday. Oh, hell yeah. That's stupid. The Aquabats will be there. Oh, yeah. If you want more ska. That's cool.

I'm sure they're really excited about that. Yeah, and they're a super fun band to see live. They're very interactive. They have stage shows. It's one of the more fun bands you'll see. And they're, like, middle of the day, I think, on Saturday. Cool. Should be fun. Well, if you're going, the day, I think, on Saturday. It should be fun. If you're going, make sure to check them out if you've never seen them before.

Now, how do you pay for all these festivals if they're dropping at one time? How do you pay for it? You might pay for it with your tax returns. Have you guys thought about your taxes yet? I'm going to do mine this Saturday. I'm just going to get it out of the way. How about you? Are you worried about having to pay taxes, or do you think you're going to get a refund?

I'm definitely going to get a refund just based on how my living situation is. But, man, I need that refund. I need to pay stuff down now. I'm actually considering, yeah, getting TurboTax like this week and just taking care of it. Okay. I always go to H&R Block, and I use the same lady every time. I love it. Yeah.

Tyler? Yeah, I don't have anything special so i'm always a turbo tax guy handling like 20 minutes i usually get a refund because i ain't making that kind of cash yeah so i oh wait i'll tell you a funny thing about turbo tax and this is not anything against turbo tax a lot of people use it and they love it. But I always use H&R Block. One year Nacho convinced me she's like, I'll just use TurboTax. I'm good. Whatever. Guess what? That was the only year I had to pay money. So what happened there?

What happened there? Well, I'm going to say if you're not familiar with TurboTax, maybe you don't know how to get all the credits and stuff. But if you just are very basic, you don't have much to get all the credits and stuff, but if you're just very basic, you don't have much to put in, it's an easy way to go. But if you have more, like Menace,

and you have properties, probably definitely go to an agent you can trust. Yeah, for sure. Dude, Menace, just have a kid and then you'll get some money back. How am I going to get money back when I'm spending so much money to take care of a kid? You still will.

Don't worry. Dude, talking to, oh my God, talking to my sister. My sister, who hasn't even had a baby yet, the amount of money that they have spent so far. Well, yeah. Well, it's her first kid. Okay. So you need multiple kids. Just add them up.

No. Just add them up. No, I'm just saying, like, the first one, of course, you spend all this money because you're like, I need this and I need this. You don't need half the stuff from showers or the half the stuff you go out and buy for yourself. And then when you have your second one, you don't need anything because you overbought the first time. Oh, so I'm, like, saving money? You got to spend money to save money.

Didn't they say, like, the average is, like, I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars it is to raise a child in America these years. Yeah, but it's the same thing as going out to festivals, going bar hopping, going out to eat. You're going to spend it somewhere. Yeah, I'd rather be doing that. Why not in a human life? No, I get it. More power to you. And I love that you want to have a large family.

I think that's really cool. My family used to be a really large family. We would all hang out with each other and celebrate the holidays and that was super fun until everybody got divorced. I think that is super cool. I think Tyler's family is awesome. He has a

huge family and everyone's really close. That's cool. Eric's family is the best as well. Freaking Brett's family is awesome. They come out to my events. They're super cool. My's family is like the best as well. Freaking Brett's family is awesome. They come out to my events. They're super cool. My immediate family, yeah. Yeah.

I think that's awesome. I just, I don't know. There's a lot of stuff that I still want to get accomplished, even though I keep on getting older and older. And I think having a kid, at least for me, it would be kind of difficult to do that stuff. You have fur babies. That's all you need. Yeah, that's my little sweeties. Eric, you're getting money back or no? Yeah, more than likely.

I usually do. Nothing's changed. I mean, I'm going to have a kid. I don't know if I can reclaim them just yet. No, not yet. Next year. Not until next year. Wait, wait. Tyler's giving info? That's how my parents did it. He outed himself finally.

He has kids out there. Yep, Texas, Houston. When I file my taxes and I got to claim my four stepchildren. No, actually, that's a good question, Julianne. So what happens? So on the form,

it just says, I have a kid and then you just check it off and then you get money? Or like, what happens? What's going on? Nothing. It just asks you how many dependents you have and then you tell them okay it doesn't say do you have children but you know what honestly i haven't done my taxes in so long ever since i got married to kevin because he took over it since he uh had owned his own business

um so i before that i didn't have any kids, so I just claimed myself. Okay. Yeah. You claim, you claim dependence. That's the way it works. So if anyone are under a certain age or even if they're older of a certain age or maybe there's a, um, like a certain disability, you can claim those people as a dependent and get some money back.

What about my dogs? Like if you're taking care of your grandma or something. Spending mad money on them two little ish heads. Holmes, look, I would have tried with the guinea pigs if I could, okay? If I can't, you can't. I'm sorry. Tyler, wait. You said you're getting money back or no? Oh, no, dude. I haven't gotten money

back in like two or three years. Why not? Well, because one of my jobs, one of my jobs I technically work as a contractor. Oh, and you're not saving your money. It's not paying your debt. No, no, no.

So I save money to put taxes aside, but you still got to pay it. I mean, you still owe at the end of the day. So, I mean, that's just kind of how it is. No, I have the money to put away to pay for it. It's not a good amount but as in like the amount i owe is not good okay like i'll be right a book about all his financial decisions and then just do the opposite exactly go to school kids go to school i think somebody online just recently i think the woody show reddit because i i never look at the woody show reddit account but i ran into the guy i i think he's a monitor or he helped start the Reddit account.

I ran into him at Alter Ego. He's like, hey, I'm a moderator on the Woody Show Reddit account. So I just decided to browse it the other day. And I looked and one of the main topics was, what was the type of truck that Tyler got? Oh, God. That was like this week. Somebody's still talking about that Tyler got? Oh, God. That was like this week. Somebody's still talking about that financial decision. Oh, my God.

It was a Toyota Tacoma. Oh, wow. We're still talking about that? Didn't we talk about that last week? I think we did, but they're talking about it in the Woody Show Reddit account. Like it's a thread on there. It's been going for a while. This is literally

going to be my lasting legacy. What kind of dumbass card did he buy? Yeah, dumbass Tyler. Very good. One last thing I want to do. I want to check in with Bort. I think we check in with a lot of people here on the podcast. We obviously check in with Tyler and Julianne

and Eric and then whatever dumbass thing Randy's doing. I don't feel like we check in with B and Julianne and Eric and then whatever dumbass thing Randy's doing. But I don't feel like we check in with Bort enough. And I want to see, Bort, what's going on with you lately? What's making you happy? What are you doing? Where are you going? Because I know you're always out and about.

Where are you going in finding your joy? Look at you. You actually went the happy route. You don't want me to complain about everything that's wrong in my world. Nope, not going to let you do that. Darn it. I don't even get to talk about the raccoons I had to chase off the other day. No, no, no.

Darn it. Where are you going? What are you doing? What's making me happy? Let's see. Going to the mall. Yes. So my wife got a couple gift cards for the holidays.

So we've been trying to optimize the amount of things that we can get with the gift cards. So I've been traveling around to probably every mall in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley area. What's your power ranking so far? Oh, oof. Number one to number three. Number one, Santa Anita. Yeah, I love that mall. It's possibly the cleanest, nicest, best variety mall, and it has tons of Japanese toy shops and places to eat so amazing number two i'm gonna say

lakewood okay lakewood also has a wide variety of places to eat and tons of cool shops you could go to and number three man i guess i'll say topanga mall yeah i love topanga as well because i'll put it there in my top three because it has has those three sections that are, you know, you have the outdoor section, you have the inside, you have the theater area. Dang, what's the food spot that you talk about? Oh, Topanga Social. Yeah. The food hall. Yeah, yeah, super cool.

So those are all fun. So just go into the mall a lot. No love for the Downey Mall? Well, I said Lakewood close. Okay. And I would say the Delama Mall if I had been there recently, but I haven't been there in a minute. Okay. But I can tell you the worst mall that I've been to.

It is, get ready, the Valencia Town Center and Santa Clarita. Oh, yeah, dude. The worst mall. It's the worst. And this is the first time I've been there since the late 90s, and it looks like it's still stuck in the late 90s. Outside is good because they have newer shops and restaurants, but inside the mall, it's straight up trash. It's terrible. It was popping, though, for the kids, though.

Oh, really? Yeah, there's tons of kids around, but it was just not great. We were there for maybe like 20 minutes and then took off. I know. That's why I try to tell Woody, I go, dude, you can't use your local mall as a reference on how malls are doing because everywhere else, it's just like Santa Anita, Topanga, Glendale. Well, we're mall rats, obviously.

We've discussed this. This is why we love the Kevin Smith movie, Mall Rats, so much. But Glendale, love Glendale. That's why I go there. Burbank, if I judged it by a mall, Burbank is not great. It's always busy, but it's not great. No, not a good mall. Terrible mall.

All right. Oh, and Pokemon. Playing lots of Pokemon. Oh, shout out to Pokemon. Shout out to Pokemon. Nice. Okay, well, we'll wrap this up. Please join me again Tuesday, January 30th from 3 to 5 p.m. in Whittier.

Oh, we didn't even mention this. Why did you speak up, Brett? Brett is now joining me for the event. Brett will be there as well from 3 to 5 p.m. It's on the corner of Telegraph and Mills. Ian Tyler might show up as well. Ooh, three of us? I will be there.

I will be there. Oh, wow. The trifecta. Eric, you're probably busy, but if you're around, maybe we'll get a Randy because there's free stuff being given away and it's close by. Don't get me started. Duh.

All right. We don't know. We've at least got us three so far. I was going to say, I was supposed to see Randy this past week. He flaked on you? I mean, do we want another randy story to go off of last week what did he like oh did he do that thing where he's like i'll meet up with you and then hours and hours go by and he keeps on updating you so i'll see you and then he eventually

cancels um worse worse but you've experienced this one okay so randy was coming to my side of town told me what day he'd be there i confirmed hey you're gonna be here right okay yeah i usually know what time he's around though right yeah i know it's later at night no worries i have an idea about it i have a bunch of stuff for him a bunch even stuff you gave me man is for him i still have it yeah right it It's like midnight. I have not heard my phone ring. So I look at my phone. I had one text message. Hey, I'm coming over soon.

Are you awake? On a Friday night. Yeah. No phone call. No follow-up text. Didn't hit me up again. I called him. He's like, oh, yeah, man.

I'm already all the way back down. Sorry. I was like, why didn't you call me? Yeah, because he knows that you're up past midnight. You're always up. I'm always awake. That's what frustrated me. That sucks.

Sorry, Randy story. I'll be still Randy, but. Well, okay, I guess Randy sucks. All right, so again, we'll see you there. Oh, Julianne, do you know what I kind of want to do? I just found out about this. I guess it's new or maybe I just didn't know about it, but there's a Laugh Factory in Covina. Yes.

Dude, what the hell? I was just talking to Kevin about that. I want to go. I want to go as well. Let's go. Let's figure out who is good to go see and then let's all get tickets and head out there. Hell yeah. I mean, it might be a truck for you guys,

but it'll be worth it. Yeah. It'd be super fun. I just found out about it. Is it new or no? Um, so there was always a theater there, but it was never a laugh factory.

I can't remember what it was before that, but I mean, what kind of theater it was before that, but something lame. Uh, so anyways, they turn it into the laugh factory and now it's popping. Like all of downtown Covina is actually coming up so good for them but yeah i see some great people on the

lineup so i definitely want to make it out there and hang out with you that'd be fun yes let's go wait can this be pre baby you want to do pre baby i mean i'll do whatever it's up to you so that'd be fun. Yeah, I want to shout them out. Also, big shout out to Flappers. Good people at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank. I hung out with them a little bit on Friday because my friend was in town.

He was doing a couple open mics. And he did an open mic there. And the Flapper people are just so good, man. Like I was talking about them and like how they kept alive during covid since they weren't doing shows they actually became like food service for the elderly prepared meals for people and that's how they kept the business alive so that's awesome so check out flappers in burbank they're great and then also there's this new spot that i went to called the

comedy chateau in north hollywood apparently it's new or maybe it's not, but it's new to me. I never heard of it. I think it's new. I think they took over an old spot, because there was a restaurant there called the Chateau. Okay. If it's the one I'm thinking of. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So that was a restaurant for a long time. All right. And I think since the end of COVID, they've slowly turned it into an open mic comedy club. Yeah, across the street from the Toyota dealership. I really enjoyed it. I popped in there for a bit. Antiquino.
