On this epsiode we talk Heat Bubble, New Mcdonald's Spinoff Chain, New Vegas & More!

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 Bort, aka 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. We are joined by our friends, Eric and Randy, who are coming to us live from Downey, California, in the same building but not in the same room

And just over yonder in Whittier, California Is our boy Tyler Who is coming to us from his parents' house I got to see Eric and Randy just recently And we went And saw a preview of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Mutant Mayhem at Sinopolis in Inglewood. It was dope AF. I was surprised on how funny the movie was. I keep telling people how much I enjoyed it and how much they should go see it. The pop culture references are very topical. That's pretty dope especially because the turtles were very centric.

When they came out in the 80s, they were all about pop culture, skateboarding, surfing, pizza, couch TV, video games. They incorporate all that. So to see them do that for a new movie, that's phenomenal. Well, I'm telling you, the references were so current

that there was one reference in there that i swear it's only been popular probably within the past four months oh good they self-parked it it was that up to date eric what do you think about it and your whole family was there as well yeah dude my mom my my brothers his kids his wife my wife my sister everybody uh my my nephew was insane they had to calm him down in the lobby after for him to be able to say thank you to you. Like, Luca, Luca, calm down. He's literally jumping all over the place.

But no, dude, I loved it. I loved the animation. This new kind of like 3D comic looky. Like it's kind of not claymation. Kind of not, I don't know. Like 2D. Yeah, it's cool. So funny story about that, right?

So everybody kind of knows. If they haven't seen it, it kind of looks like Into the Spider-Verse. It's kind of like a comic book. Kind of blurry. Makes it kind of look they haven't seen it kind of looks like the you know into the spider verse kind of it's kind of like a comic book kind of blurry makes it kind of look 3d ish right so my we're driving home and my mom's like was um was the screen a little blurry to anybody else i was like no mom that's how that's i was like oh she said it was the screen a little distorted and i'm like mom no that's how like the animation it was she's like oh okay i just thought i was like i need i should have brought my glasses and i'm like you came to the movie theater without your glasses but um then i had to explain to her the difference between ice cube and

ice tea because ice cubes oh yeah yeah as well i loved it it was it was fun seth rogan's dope in it i mean it was cool i loved it now tyler you didn't go to the ninja turtles movie screening are you excited for the movie did you you grow up on Ninja Turtles? Did you have any nostalgia for it? You know what? So here's the thing. So first off, yes, correct. I haven't seen the movie.

I've seen the reviews, and apparently it looks really good. So I will probably check it out maybe with one of my younger brothers. But I never actually really grew up on Ninja Turtles, and that is totally because of my parents. I mean, now. They're anti? Well, the good Christian boy. Come on.

You did Turtles. The good Christian boy, man. Fighting weapons. They didn't want me to know about the dark sides of New York City just yet, I guess. Wow. But that's how it was for a bunch of shows when I was a kid. Didn't see Ninja Turtles. Wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons.

Never saw Beavis and Butthead. No way. You're like Woody. He didn't get to watch any of that stuff either. But Kim Possible, man. All about it. Hey, yo. Kim Possible rules. All the Disney shows.

We'll edit that. I totally forgot. I can't swear. No, it's fine. we're not it's cool if you're going to the movies this weekend make sure you check out teenage mutant ninja turtles muen mayhem also out this weekend there's a movie that didn't get a lot of promotion because you know there's that strike going on so the actors can't promote it it's called shortcomings and it's like kind of like a rom-com type thing. I'm sure that's going to be good as well. So those are two movies that I would like to support. I saw Oppenheimer last weekend because we did the whole 70 millimeter thing,

and the only screening we could find was 10 a.m. at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. That was a doozy. Not to mention, I thought the tickets were for Saturday, so we got up early, went up there Saturday. It I thought the tickets were for Saturday. So we got up early, went up there Saturday. Turns out the tickets were for Sunday. Oh, wow. So we also had to wake up early on Sunday. Wow. You drove all the way there?

Yeah. I'm looking at it, and it says Sunday. And I'm like, oh, my God. She's like, what? What happened? What? I'm like, the tickets are for Sunday. So we had to do the whole process on Sunday.

We were on time for it, though. We were on time for it on Sunday. You had a whole day to prepare. I just love that you still Randy it this bad all these years later, man. I was so mad. So we ended up just going to a museum. Oh, my God. You know what?

I'm going to punish us now. We're going to the museum. You're going to like it, damn it. One other movie that I'm excited for is Strays the one the r-rated dog movie oh that looks yeah dude so funny i can't wait for that one there is a movie out right now on apple plus people watch it it's hilarious i think everything that we've been told about it is a lie it was the beanie bubble movie that has uh zach galifianakis in it yeah so funny dude because we heard like oh they couldn't get the rights for the beanie babies so it's all these like weird looking

beanies in it and all this kind of stuff totally wrong it's a great movie check it out if you have apple plus it's definitely worth watching uh other movies i'm excited for, Gran Turismo. Are you into that? That one will be good. I think the only thing that annoys me about it is I'm pretty sure every movie I've been to lately, I've seen the trailer for Gran Turismo. That's why I'm excited to see it. Every single movie, it's been attached to every single one. Are you a fan, Menace? Are you a big fan of seeing the trailer because you played the game, or is just the trailer drawing you in? I played the game a little bit, but the trailer looks so freaking good.

Right, Tyler? Yeah, the trailer actually looks decent. I just don't need to see it 10 times. That's fine. But, like, the game. So that's a game I played a little bit. That was just Gran Turismo wasn't my style of racing game. I was definitely more the

need for speed and for all the people who remember this series i loved burnout that was one of my favorite series so but yeah like i'm interested in the movie it looks really really good it's the first time i've seen orlando bloom in a movie in a long ass time i know not so yeah that'd be kind of cool yeah that last pirates yeah which was really good with him in it. Too busy making babies with Katy Perry. That's a funny thing, too. I was talking to my friend about that. I had no idea he was married to Katy Perry.

Really? I had no idea. Did not know. I'm not as big into celebrity news right now, but yeah, I had no idea about the Katy Perry thing. That was wild. You guys want some food news? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Did you see that Mr. Beast is suing Mr. Beast Burgers? Available on Ghost Kitchen. It's not available at any physical location, but just in delivery apps only. The quality was terrible. There was all these photos online of people complaining. And Mr. Beast claims that he never even made a dollar off of it did you guys ever try it it looks pretty bad i saw pictures that people were posting the whole thing the

burger just looks super bland like something i can get you know at just normal fast food place and then i was looking at the fries for the cheese fries they literally just threw on a slice of cheddar or whatever and it wouldn't even melt which what no i don't have a problem with that the problem is is that when they threw on the slice of cheddar the cheddar wouldn't even melt on the cheese which tells me that the or on the fries which tells me that the fries are cold so it just overall did not look appetizing whatsoever yeah when you get so big man you get it gets so far away from actually being your product you can't control it yeah yeah that's what he was worried about was quality

control so he's actually suing because one you didn't get any money two it hurt his reputation because the quality wasn't good but then mr beast candy bars though on point fire fire i watched a video uh you probably saw this this was like on like making its rounds on Instagram. I think it was on Joe Rogan's podcast. And he was talking about how he just expands everything. It was just an idea. I mean, it's something we probably wouldn't and couldn't do. But he talked about how he gets millions of more subscribers and viewers on YouTube because he has like in Espanol versions.

Yeah. Translations. I've been thinking about that. Yeah. And I just had like it was one of those things where i watched the video and i was like could you imagine somebody dubbing over tyler in spanish like us making fun of him like in spanish or you know in japanese or whatever i just i watched the video i was like dude somebody dubbing over tyler would probably

have the hardest job in the world well no i i've already looked into it because of like just social videos and stuff like that. And also with the podcast, I figured out how to do it. But, you know, will everything be correct? Who knows? Probably not. Have you guys seen, I mean, obviously everybody here has watched an anime, right? If you ever look at the source translation of an anime subtitled and then watch the dub version, there's always something wrong, right? But if you watch a really

bad dub, oh, it's terrible. It doesn't make any sense. Nothing's correct. So, I'm sorry Tyler, but any time that we could translate, oh god, like it's just gonna hurt you in the end. It's gonna be all bad. We need to translate one episode where we just say Milk Mama

as many times as possible. Leche Mamacita over and over again. Leche Mamacita. Agreed. Agre agreed what if we just have randy do all of it in different voices yeah maybe in mcdonald's news did you hear that the pikachu happy meals are coming back yes embrace the chaos maybe i'll get one this time you didn't get one last time or was it just sold out i'm just i'm never yeah i mean it's one of those things like i'm never like the guy to jump on these things so then i hear how crazy it is and then it's like well i is it worth my time and i would see that at the glendale mall all the time or glendale galleria there's a i'd walk by the

mcdonald's on the way out and i'd seen big block letters out of pikachu happening i'm not gonna try to do this man it's gonna piss me going to piss me off. All right. But yeah, obviously, Pokemon cards. I told you I did it the first time. I'm very excited because it's exclusive cards. So this time, yeah, I'll try it. If it's exclusive cards, I'm totally down. Hell yeah.

Also, just throwing this out there in case you guys didn't know, you could buy the toy that comes with the Happy Meal without buying the actual Happy Meal. I don't know if you guys do that. Tyler, I'm an expert. I do know this. Thank you. I'm assuming the masses maybe don't know because I don't know if you guys

know this about me. My favorite Disney character of all time is Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. It's my favorite Disney movie of all time. So about a year-ish ago, they came out with Stitch toys for some reason i don't remember why and it was uh like a one of the ones that you can hang on your backpack and i was like oh that'd actually be cool backpack let me grab one and i asked him i said hey is it possible to

get the toy without the happy meal and they're like yeah it's like three or four bucks or whatever. Here you go, grown-ass man. So I got it. Yeah. Wait, wait. I got it. Mr. Grown-ass man. So you paid $3 to $4 for this toy. You could have just spent the $3 to $4 for the Happy Meal. And got it anyway. And had the food anyway.

Look, man, I wanted a quarter pounder, okay? That's what I wanted. So buy two Happy Meals and stick it together. Yeah. But here's the other thing, too, is that you can also do it during the breakfast hours because the last time we went to Vegas, Guardians of the Galaxy, the newest one, had just come out the night before. Guys, and I saw this backpack clip, and I was like, sweet.

As an adult, I totally want this. I had went to go see it the night before with my brothers. Randy, I believe, had went with his girlfriend to go see it the night before as well. And me and him were driving to Vegas together. So he was the one driving, so I offered to pay for breakfast. We stopped at McDonald's. We saw that they had the Guardians toys, and we each wanted one. So we both bought one.

Nice. Instead of actually buying food that you could have had on the road. Oh, well, we bought the food as well. Okay, because when the Happy Meal Halloween pails came out, the McDonald's pails came out last year. You know what I did, Menace? What? I just bought the damn Happy Meal and enjoyed the food.

All right. Also in McDonald's food news, they're spitting off with another restaurant later this year called Cosmix. Now, this is a alien-themed restaurant from some character they had in the 70s or 80s, and they're going to have it in multiple locations. Are you all in or all out? Bort, I don't even need to ask you. Where are these going to be at?

I'm trying to look up what it is, and all I'm finding is pictures of the Grimace Shake, so I think that's kind of gone, right? They haven't disclosed all the locations yet. Okay, because I'm trying to remember what Cosmix was. It's a character. I mean, if I was a... No, I don't even think you were even alive when it was out.

Because what I see is this furry Grimace-looking guy, and I don't think that's... No, Cosmix kind of look like from... What's that one TV show that's actually really old too? The outer space one with the family that had the robot. Oh, Lost in Space. Lost in Space. Yeah, the Lost in Space robot guy.

Okay, I found Cosmic. By the way, it's spelled C-O-S-M-C for... Get it, McDonald's. Cosmic. Yeah, I'm it's spelled C-O-S-M-C for, get it, McDonald's. Cosmic. Yeah, I'm sending it to all you guys. Oh, yeah. Oh, whoa, what the hell is this guy? Holy crap.

That is crazy. Dude, it's dope. I love it. So we're going to take some random character, and then we're just going to make a restaurant out of them. Yes, why not? Look, I know you support it, Bort. I support it as well.

I want to go to an alien-themed restaurant. This commercial I'm watching looks like it's straight out of Teletubbies, man. Like this whole grassy knolls, guys in just big old suits kind of thing. Yeah, it's super weird. They're getting people ready for the alien invasion. They're just working it in slowly. Why would McDonald's randomly have an alien restaurant chain called Cosmix?

To get us used to the image of aliens so we're not shocked when they show up. That's what I said! And if you want to go to the OG alien UFO McDonald's, go to Roswell, New Mexico, because the UFO McDonald's is there!

I was just going to say that. If this place doesn't open up, if it opens up anywhere other than Roswell, then it's a failure. I'm sorry. You have to open it up in Roswell. Tyler, if you go to Roswell right now, or many years ago when I was there, the McDonald's is shaped like a UFO. And inside, it's all space theme already. It's already done. It's done.

I'm going to be looking this up right now. Give me one second. Just go to my Instagram, at same port. I'm in. Down. You're down. All right. How about this?

Food news. All in or all out. Spam debuts a new maple flavor. Out. That could be good if you warm it up. Yeah, I'm not all the way out on that. It's like sausage. Some people eat their sausages with maple syrup and stuff. I could see how it's appealing all right now I think about it I do like like a like a piece of bacon in my uh yeah maple syrup yeah no I guess

yeah but my like um honey baked beans whatever I guess it's all right if it's offered somewhere might as well you know I'm shaming it I'm shaming this and then I'm going to the fair tonight and I'm probably going to eat like something drizzled in syrup anyway so like never mind i'm a major hypocrite right now yeah like a kool-aid pickle or something yeah that's right i'm being a burger and a donut i think i'm out you have to so with maple flavored anything you have to get it just right or else it comes out way too sweet and i think spam i'll pass okay all right i mean it would kind of go with the saltiness though because spam is mega salty true switching it up a little bit just a heads up i submitted 15 ideas already for the big birthday

bash october 6th at morongo Casino. I did submit the idea. Now, no guarantees, but I did submit the idea. I'll confirm closer to the date that I did submit the idea that everybody asked for, which was the money booth. You can get in there and grab some money as it swirls around you for a short period of time. But do you guys have any other ideas and things i should do besides randy and tyler slap fighting yes oh huge and betting on it because we're at morago oh that would roll yeah thinking about everything that we did last night because i remember we had

the money booth i remember we had uh some sort of giveaway and i remember we all got really really drunk in the back yeah other than that, it's kind of a play. I don't remember a whole lot. But yeah, as far as what you would want to do for your birthday. How about this? I am going to buy a bunch of things to give away. Do you have any ideas on giveaways? I think TVs because here's the other thing for TVs because we'll be right in the middle of the football season,

so someone would love a new TV to watch football on right there. Good idea. I think if you gave away one or two PS5s, I think that'd be pretty cool. The Nintendo Switch is obviously a classic. Yeah, that one's good. You know what? I'll throw this out there.

I know people still like riding bikes. If you give away a bike, that might be kind of cool. Like an e-bike? E-bike, yeah. I got some money. Like an e-bike? E-bike, yeah. I got some money. Like an e-bike? I don't know, like a margarita mixer, blender, something fun, you know? Oh, that's an idea. How about a $250 gift card to Margaritaville?

Oh, now we're talking. Now we're talking. Shout out to the one at Universal Studios. Been there. Love it. It's not something to give away, but I don't know why, but I'm really into confetti cannons lately. Oh, you need some of those? Confetti cannons going off.

Heck yeah. All right. Now we're talking. Wait, are you giving them away or are you just having them? No, we're using them. Okay, just use them. Handheld ones, ones on the stage, like just every like on the tens, confetti cannons go off, you know? All right.

Eric just wants to use one at the party. Probably. I get it, man. And that opens up the window to someone using it backwards and shooting themselves in the nuts with it. So many possibilities. Oh, well, this goes with my idea, you know, besides the one idea I had, which was the Tyler-Randy slap fight.

Then we use the confetti cannons with it afterwards. Nice. For whoever wins. I like that. You have any other giveaway ideas? What's your budget? A lot. A lot?

A lot. I just looked up. There is a Segway electric go-kart for about $999. Easy. Okay, cool. Let's give away some go-karts. All right. Oh, or it might not be for adults, but it could work.

For $400, you could get the Mario Kart battery-operated go-kart for kids. Oh, hell yeah. Or I might just get it for myself. Exactly. That's what I was going with. Nice. Well, Eric, Randy, you're no longer employees, so feel free to enter. Oh, hell yeah.

You know, I think a couch would be absolutely great to give away at the... Yeah, a couch. All right. Living spaces, a gift card. Yeah, I could use some new cat trees uh all that kind of stuff later peko gift card cat yeah a cat backpack would be awesome for real well i was looking at my schedule because we got to schedule all this stuff out and um i have so much stuff going on i don't know about you guys but i feel like it's almost the end

of the year already i know that with your schedule it's just ramping up with the football season but don't you feel like 2023 is almost over already no dude i feel the same way because it's like yeah football is ramping up so it's like the beginning of our our works year but with me football is like the end of the year i picture september and august these years this these first two months of football like you kind of forget about them in the long haul because the season's so long. When I picture football, I picture fall. I picture December, January.

Football to me is an end-of-the-year thing, so it's definitely in my mind. Yeah, I saw a video on Instagram the other day that said in six months, this was back in June, of course, in six months, 2019 will have been five years ago, which I hadn't taken a second to consider and think about. And it's mind-boggling to me that the year's pretty much almost done. And this next couple months for Eric and I, they're going to be a blur, dude.

Yeah, for real. Because come week four or five of the season, we're in a groove. We're just like a mechanized machine. It's going to be wild. Yeah, the Hall of Fame game, the first preseason game was last night. Browns-Jets. I'm at work. I looked up, and I saw the kickoff.

And I'm like, well, I'll see everybody in March. Nice. Yeah. So August, I have quite a few meetups pending throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. So please pay attention to my social media at Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E. But then in September, you already have the iHeartRadio Festival that's happening. Then October, you have the When Were You Young Festival. You have my party and then a couple other things that are happening. And then November, if you go back to Vegas you have F1 you have BravoCon if you're into that

kind of thing then it's already December and you're wrapping up the year but uh I was looking into Vegas with all the stuff going on and you know we love talking about Las Vegas Las Vegas is now number one destination where people are moving to in the country yeah makes sense dude people are over that whole it's too hot thing yeah inside it's not hard no it's called air conditioning air conditioning yeah and what's cool about it since everybody is moving from across the country all the food spots that are just regional that you couldn't get anywhere else they're all coming to las vegas so just announced is zippy's which is a hawaiian based food chain is absolutely delicious

kind of like hawaiian barbecue number two you got bojangles chicken spots number three i love bojangles you got what a burger like it's just popping and do they have waffle house or they don't have waffle house in las vegas i know it's in arizona but if they don't have Waffle House in Las Vegas. I know it's in Arizona, but if they don't, it's going to be there in a second. But it's going to be the food mecca of America in Las Vegas for sure. I think I saw they're putting an In-N-Out at Allegiant. Did I see that too recently? Oh, I'm sure they will be.

I saw that too. Menace, they do not have a Waffle House just yet. Oh, it'll be there. They have everything else named Waffles. Waffle Cafe, Waffle Brothers, Waffle Omelette House. Waffles, Waffles, it'll be there. They have everything else named Waffles. Waffle Cafe, Waffle Brothers, Waffle Omelette House. Everything. Well, check this out, guys. Tyler's going to be there for a bachelor party

and he asked me for some suggestions and I was surprised on what he selected. I have to give a shout out to Menace real quick. So I hit him up earlier in the week because I'm going to a bachelor party in Vegas in two weeks and we're trying to figure out the dinner thing and I hit Menace up and I said, Hey, what's the best place to go for dinner?

And he hits me up. He's like fancy, not fancy. How many people in your party? So I give them all the info and we picked one of the recommendations. We will be going to cut by Wolfgang puck on Saturday night while we're in Vegas already put in the reservation. I'm super stoked. I looked at the menu.

It looks amazing. So, yeah, dude, I'm really happy for this. And I told him it's one of Oprah's favorite places. Oprah can do anything. I'll be honest. I was surprised because I was like, here's top tier. Here's mid-level. And here's, like, you know, super affordable for the places you're going. And, Tyler, you's top tier, here's mid-level, and here's, like, you know, super affordable for the places you're going.

And, Tyler, you went top tier. I feel like for a bachelor party, you have to go at least one restaurant. That's top tier, yeah. You have to go mid to top tier, yeah. And I was looking, because I looked at the other ones you recommended, and I know what my friends like to eat. And I was like, I personally would like the other two as well, but knowing them, I'd probably pass. And then I saw Cut, and I was like, oh, no, this is something we can all agree on.

Like, this is perfect. Yeah, and the reason I suggested Cut is because of the location where you're staying on the Strip. I usually go to restaurants more south of the Strip. Like, if I was going to a steakhouse, I would go to John George's at Aria. But since where you're going to be positioned at, highly recommend cut for where you're staying. Yeah, we're staying at Treasure Island, which also reminds me. So that Friday morning,

I'm leaving for Vegas at like five in the morning. I'm not trying to get stuck in traffic. Hopefully there's no accidents. And I'm picking up my friend on the way while two of my other friends are flying in from Texas. So we found out that their flight lands at nine in the morning we should be there by about nine in the morning with us driving and i'm thinking you know we're gonna be really hungry we're staying at treasure island what should we do just go across the street to the window the buffet hell yeah dude wow you're gonna do that for brunch. Doing it big, son. Oh, we'd, bro, come on. Come on.

I go big or go home. Look at my size. I go big or go home. Very true. And personal note, I'm also trying to get some new shoes for that. I'm specifically looking for a pair of Jordans. So I'm trying to look fly as an MFR over here. What?

So we'll see what happens. Tyler secretly won the lotto, everybody. All right. Well, since he won the lotto, if any of his friends are listening to this podcast, which I assume that they are because they're such big fans of Heavy T, right? King Whittier. I hope that they know that Tyler

is actually picking up the bill for the brunch for all of them. And that cut, too. That's a lot of money. I'm just saying, I will never admit I won the lottery, but there will be signs. Okay, I'm just saying. One, Tyler's already asked Menace about recommendations in Vegas.

Remember the whole Fogo de Chao or however you say it? DeBosco back in the first Bachelor party. Okay, so he's smart this time around, yeah. Yeah, and then two, this dude, the second he gets any kind of supplemental income, it's like remember the whole old school Xbox games fiasco? Yeah. He literally, he has to have money in his bank account for less than 24 hours at a time. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, true. I just don't understand why it is that every time he has to do something, he has to do the most obnoxious way of doing it. Like, just go get steak, dude. You know what I'm dreading is the Instagram posts of this weekend. I was about to say. It's going to be peak Tyler cringe. Me and Eric are going to be minding our business, having a great night.

I'm going to text from effing Tyler. He's going to be like, Vegas is back, baby. It's going to be like a half-eaten steak. I'm like, how much you pay for that? And he'll be like, don't worry a lot, man. Don't worry about it or something stupid. The worst part about this too, man. It's like taking a dog to the dog park.

It's fun for the first five minutes. Like, oh, look at him run. And then it's like, dude, stop pumping that thing. Get away from that dog. No, dude, don't eat that poop. It's fun for five minutes, and then you're just really, really annoyed. eric you're gonna be in las vegas as well you're going for beyonce are you gonna be at the concert no no i'm going i'm just tagging along on a trip you know my wife is going to beyonce in august late august yeah so she's going and she's like oh do you want to go

i'm like you kidding me yeah of course so i'm uh i just found a reason to go to vegas you know so sweet i'll ship her off to Beyonce and I'll spend a couple hours in a bar somewhere. Man, you should have went because I will probably be there for Beyonce, most likely. Yeah, I think... We can see each other during the day, but we could have been holding hands during Beyonce.

I know, right? Yeah, but this is going to be my wife's second time, I think, seeing Beyonce. Her and her sister have gone. She's giving me the three signals. She's gone to the Dodgers Stadium show. The formation on the run. I don't know what those mean, Leanne.

Yeah. So, yeah. So, this will be the third time. She's signaling things to me. But yeah. So, we'll be out there. I was like, you know, she's like, oh, we're going to Vegas. Do you want to tag along?

I'm like, yeah, book the flight. Let's go. Nice. Oh, Tyler, Texas,as the heat are you happy that you're not there because all my friends that are in texas right now i see them on social media just complaining on how terrible the heat is i mean we've been in this heat bubble across the country luckily we're in california so it's a dry heat but can you imagine how much you would be sweating right now if you were in texas so here's the

here's the thing about that so it's been really humid over here true like the past couple weeks i went to the dodger game about a week ago and i had my hat on we're sitting behind the sun like the sun is setting behind us so you know it's not hitting us it's already like the sun is already set it's dark outside it's like maybe 8 39 o'clock and i am sweating my ass off because it's just humid yeah it's sticky like my uh my legs are kind of sticking to the seat and i'm just like dude like if i wanted this i would have just stayed in texas because it's humid over there like it's to me it's been kind of about the same at least for the past two three weeks no lie i was moving in that muggy ass heat and the entire time like where am i moving to

florida i know i feel exactly eric randy you guys are excited right that you don't have to deal with humidity in texas with texas being so hot we can deal with the heat that we have here it's warm you know but whatever it's not too bad. I think I'm going to school in the valley, Northridge, for six years and living out there, you know, for probably eight. I mean, it gets real hot. I think I've been kind of calloused to the heat.

I mean, it's warm, but I'm not, like, dying over it anymore. Yeah, we're very jealous of Eric's apartment, though, because I think he gets better air circulation than I do. Oh, wow. But at the same time, I'm also jealous of Randy's because my door is in a stairwell, and that gets like a sauna.

His door opens out into the courtyard, so I walk out, and I'm jealous, and he just has his door open in the air. So I think we break even. Okay. This actually leads to an example of the heat menace from this last week. You know, Eric and Randy were good brothers.

They came out here and helped me move a couch out of my old apartment to my new apartment. And the entire time I'm pre-facing with guys, look, I'm very sorry the moment they got there. I'm like, hey, look, they cut the power. The apartment building sucks. They didn't have it in their name. Oh, no.

It's cut, so it's going to be a little hot up there. It's a little warm, right? I get them upstairs. Randy's first initial reaction is, oh, it's nicer than my apartment in here really yeah it was actually it was nice dude it was nice dude it was not i was expecting like sauna you know because i've moved into apartments and when you get there before the the power's on you know it's it's there's nothing and i walked in i'm like this is nice nice and outside dude it was

muggy and morbid there the fact that randy was, this is nice. Nice and outside. Dude, it was muggy and warm in there. The fact that Randy was like, this is better than my apartment. I'm like, what third world country of an apartment? The hallways were way worse than your apartment. Oh, yeah, the hallways suck. But I was honestly concerned for Randy's living situation when he said that, though. You'd think that he would be on Amazon, I don't know, scamming some type of AC equipment. We have our AC, but it can only cool so much.

And we have one in our bedroom. So we have both running at the same time. The power goes out. You have fans? What? It goes out? We have, what are those called? The ones you put in the window.

They're like ACs, mobile ACs or something. You have just like a regular fan you can run during the day? Yeah, no, we turn the fan on and stuff. But I mean, if we're cooking and stuff or whatever, it gets hot, man. You can't do anything about that. It's going to get hot. It's over the oven in my place, too. I'm surprised you haven't done that thing that they were doing on the East Coast

where they were taking those styrofoam coolers and they were cutting holes in them and they had the ice in there and then they put fans on top of it. Dry ice. Yeah. I'm surprised you just haven't found a way to like split your neighbor's electricity yeah i'm surprised you haven't put a hose from eric's apartment to your apartment to siphon off some ac randy's up on my freaking pole like extension cord going across the courtyard what is that dude i tried getting fiber internet here. It was impossible. Fiber internet's available across the street, but where I'm at, it's unavailable.

I'm like, son of a bitch, dude. I'm trying to find ways. Starlink all day. I'm trying to find ways to do things. Starlink it, dude. The next big thing we want to do is, I mean, after going to help Brett out with his couch and being in his apartment,

Central AC is the move. I need Central AC, but it's so hard to help Brett out with his couch and being in his apartment, Central AC is the move. I need Central AC, but it's so hard to find a place around here that isn't like $2,500 a goddamn month. Just for fun, I went to the website to look at the new apartments that are right by your work in Englewood. They wouldn't list

the prices, but there's apartments available. It's going to be through the roof no price listing i should just call anyways no price listing could be a good sign that means that they're trying to deter people but also have it for kind of cheaper at the same time but i mean they could have it available and people would just apply and they would just reject them they look dope af i mean randy not to rub it in but my place apparently was built in the 80s and it has central ac so there are buildings out there that have it.

My last apartment in Studio City had it, too. It was built in the 70s. And the way it's laid out and the features that it has, it's very apparent that it's from the 70s. Yes. Mine has a dip in the floor. My old apartment had these ports on the wall. Well, my place was built in the 1800s, and I got AC. Oh, Ravy was there?

Cool. Look, dude, I would love central AC. I would also love it not to be $2,700 a month to get a good apartment. For now, I will suffer. So, Brett, you're all moved in, though. Yes, yes. Thanks to Randy and Eric, I am officially all moved in. The couch was the last thing I needed, which thank you guys,

because I've been sleeping on that couch almost every single day because I don't have a bed yet. I had to toss that. But yes, we are fully moved in. Me, the wife, and the gins. Nice. The ginnies don't have to be hiding in attics and stuff. They get to just live their lives and be happy little pets.

That's awesome, man. Love it. Well, I hope you take my advice, and I would like to share it here on the podcast that walmart uh certain mattresses they're like i don't know maybe depending on the size i think the one that i got was like 600 bucks right are absolutely freaking awesome i spent stupid money on that freaking casper mattress is the biggest piece of garbage I've ever bought. But I've bought multiple mattresses from Walmart, and those Serta mattresses are straight fire, dude.

So that's what I'm recommending to you. I have tried the demo samples that they have at certain stores and at Walmart. They feel amazing. They feel very soft. I know that they ship them in a box to you so everything can come to you very quickly. Or you can just take it from the store from the box. That's what I did. Or I could do that.

Yeah. Possibly. Yeah, so I think I'm definitely going that route. The only thing I need to do is find a bed frame somewhere. Dude, they have the Gap Collection at Walmart for furniture, and it's pretty solid. I used it for the guest rooms and it is dope. But my current bed frame

that I use, I got from Living Spaces. Alright. But if you want some quality and to save a buck, Walmart Gap Collection. I'm telling you, look into it. Well, it looks like I'm traveling around to Walmart. Walmart. Alright, guys. Well, we gotta wrap this up. I'm heading on out, going out of town. But big shout out

Yeah. NFL training camp is officially underway, and the Falcons are making me want to believe again, which means I will be crying by mid-December. Wait, who's their quarterback? That would be year two quarterback Desmond Ritter. So he started the last four games of the season last year after Mariota got benched because he sucked. So he started.

He did well. Now he's going to get his first full season. They've revamped the defense. They drafted the best running back in the country in the first round in Bijan Robinson. So I'm actually, this is the first time I've've been really really excited about a falcons team in a while can they do it i don't know i am scared all right of course it's that time of year again where tyler is oh i have a reason to believe and then what i'm gonna give him over under week six before

he's like oh he's sending out stupid memes like he does every season. Yeah, true, true. It's a yearly cycle, man. It's not new. All right. Eric, what are you going to say before you leave? So my wife, Leanne, texted me this. I don't want to leave anybody hanging.

It was the Formation World Tour at Dodger Stadium, on the Run 2 Tour at Rose Bowl, and the third will be Renaissance World Tour at Allegiance. Okay. He texted me this important information. I didn't want to leave anybody hanging on the names of these tours and where they were. All right.

Randy, do you have anything to say before we leave? I'm going to give it until week four, week five of the NFL season when Tyler hits full rock bottom depression, and we're going to start hearing about it. So mark my words, week four, week five. The Falcons will literally not be able to run the ball this year. It's going to be dumb. Well, I mean, they do have that new quarterback, though.

We can see what happens there. Don't do this. Because then he's going to think you're on his side, and it's going to be annoying. All right. Week four or five. All right, guys. Well, thank you for listening.

Again, follow me on social media at Menace, M-E-N-A-C-E. We're going to have some meetups. Oh, I'd even tease this. Uh-oh. May have a actual Woody Show meetup. What? Yeah, in September. With the whole squad?
