Episode Date: May 31, 2024

On this epsiode we talk about how He's here!, Now in Dallas, Food spots that have fallen off & More!

What's new, what's new with Menace? What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of What's New Pod. I'm 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 have our friends Randy and Eric, who are from Downey, California, that are part of the podcast. Also, we have Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T, who's coming to us from Whittier, California, and just over yonder, according to her, in Covina, California, would be Julianne.

If you listened to the last podcast, Julianne and Tyler were going back and forth on how long it would take to get from Whittier to Covina. And I trust Julianne. I don't know. Tyler didn't seem so into saying that it was a quick trip. He said, oh, it would take hours. Right, Tyler? Hours to get from Whittier? I sarcastically said it would take hours. After you looked at him now.

If there's no traffic, Covina to Whittier, no traffic is at least 30, 35 minutes. Okay, Tyler, do me a favor. Do me a favor, Tyler. Text me your address right now, please. Yeah, let me see it. Hold on. Hold on. Here we go.

Because she has to drop off the kids for babysitting. Tyler needs money somehow. I can tell you that last week I drove out to, oh my God, where did I even drive to? Brea, Brea, Brea. Thank you. I drove out to Brea last week and then I drove past Tyler in Whittier to go up to Montebello. Yeah. He sent me a picture.

He was by Pizza Mania. He was by that. Oh, nice. Actually, not only was I by Pizza Mania, I was at the Raising Cane's that me and Menace were at with Tyler. And the Shakey's that we were at with Tyler. Oh, what? That sadly caught fire in their rebuilding. But I passed by it.

I did talk to the Shakey's people and they are rebuilding. So it'll be ready to go soon. Because I said to them, actually, I told them about how that was Tyler's childhood Shakey's, and it needs to be rebuilt. The people demand it, and I speak for the people. Yeah, for sure. Oh, which actually, I was at the Shakey's in North Hollywood the other day, my childhood Shakey's. But, Mattis, you have something else going on in North Hollywood in about a week, right?

A week or so? I do. Well, you and I do, actually. Oh, that's right. It's called another Raising Cane's opening. Yes! Finally coming to North Hollywood, and you can hang out with us.

June 18th. This is Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. We're doing it early this time. A ton of giveaways, as usual, for theme parks, concerts, Woody's Show merch, and more. Come hang out with myself and Bort, a.k.a. Brett, for some giveaways and to enjoy some delicious chicken

with some delicious cane sauce. Who doesn't want that? And we'll be fresh off the show. It will. Full of energy. Yes. Now, here's a big announcement. We know why Randy's not here because he can never, you know,

coordinate to be on the podcast. But where is Eric? Well, guys, it finally happened. The baby is here. Yay! Baby Austin is here. Eric is now a father. He's been officially a father for how many days now?

Today is Thursday. I think four or five days. I think just under a week. Was it Saturday? Yeah. Saturday, Sunday. Yeah, like four or five days, right? Wow.

Damn. And it's weird because we're talking about, oh, babies are back in the group chat again because, you know, Julianne can't stop having babies. So we're used to that but having having baby photos in the group chat from eric is mad weird also full head of hair out the jump with the baby oh yeah yeah well that happens with babies some babies uh you would think that he had a little hispanic baby though because usually that happens with hispanic babies yeah this also happened with me when I was born, and my siblings thought that my mom was two-timing my dad. She wasn't, but yeah, it happens with babies. And Brett's hair never stopped growing.

No, it just kept going. See, that'll happen with baby Austin, too. Nice. Rule. I can't wait to buy him another pair of shoes. That's my thing. I like buying baby shoes. I need to make sure that they're flossing out there.

I haven't told Eric this, but I have a plan for baby Austin's birthday every single year starting this year, which will be or next year will be. I'm going to get him nothing but Stone Cold Steve Austin shirts that just say Austin 360. Every year will be Austin 360 merch. It makes it even better because me and me me randy and uh eric were talking about this this kid was born on memorial day weekend this kid is going to have a three-day weekend for the rest of his life yes it's going down for real wait till he turns 21 oh my, dude. Oh, my God. It's over. It's over. Big birthday celebrations. I hope somehow, someway, who knows what the future looks like with technology, that his child, Austin, will be able to go back and listen to these podcasts and hear his father

talking about him about to be born or things about him. That's genius, actually. He really should be archiving this right now. You should be doing that for him. Be a good friend. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, Bort.

Fine. Well, it's called the feed, man. Yeah, we need the downloads. Okay, fine. I'll log on to another computer. New user, Austin. Good job. Good job, getting it.

Actually, I have been thinking about that a lot lately with my father and my nephew who I just had. Because honestly, I don't really know too much stuff past my grandparents about our family. And my dad is like the last one left. So like if he passed away, I wouldn't even know anything about my great grandparents, his aunt and uncle. Like I think I want to sit them down and just record a bunch of stuff. I have had the same thought over the last year

of getting my parents to sit down and just record stuff because every once in a while they'll tell me a story that I kind of remember or I have an idea of, but the details I don't. And again, very similar. Losing other family members, I'm never going to know this stuff past them if i don't

just sit them down and go hey do you guys want to talk for an hour ancestry do your ancestry to your family tree my family's doing that yeah but it's like stories like yeah i've done it like oh just one time like i okay so i found out my grandmother met my grandfather because he was in the air force and he got wasted a random family took him in to let him sleep on the couch. And then that's how my grandmother met my grandfather. You're not going to find that on Ancestry.com. That's like back to the future. Yeah, right.

Right? It's crazy. So yeah, that's definitely why I got to, I don't want to be that person like, oh, I want to keep on doing that. I want to do that. I want to do that and then never do that and then it's too late. Because I do have a mutual friend who said, oh, man, I really want to go on a fishing trip with my dad.

I really want to do that before he passed. And guess what? They never went on that fishing trip because it just kept on kicking the can down the road. Right. So I think I'm going to do that next time i see him which is gonna be pretty soon because i gotta go to another baby shower what yeah my buddy's baby shower so i'm gonna be back in the san francisco bay area to see my nephew and then also go to my friend's baby shower but speaking of babies we can't stop talking about babies this is gonna be the new baby podcast by

the way yes julianne your baby's coming in hot right yeah i'm actually gonna go in tomorrow to see if i'm dilated or not and tomorrow i'll be but the mirror doesn't go inside so no i don't know how it works you can try she she jabs her fingers like pretty much inside of me and out of my throat. That's how it feels. But they check to see if you're dilated. So they did this to me when I was pregnant with my second serenity. And I was 37 weeks and she dug up in there and I was three centimeters dilated.

And I was working with Booker and Stryker at the time. And so I was in active labor and they're like, the doctor's like, you need to just not go into work. I said, nope, I got to train someone. I got to, I got to make sure that I'm covered. And three days after she shoved her fingers at me, I had serenity. So that's how it works. Yeah. I told her, I said, you got some magic fingers, girl, because let me tell you, you throw me into labor.

So we'll see if tomorrow she, after she swabs or checks my dilation, we'll see if I have her three days or four days later, but she's coming. It's funny that you mentioned that about checking how dilated you are with fingers because I just saw comedian Andrew Schultz. And if you don't know who he is, he was on Girl Code, Guy Code on MTV.

That's kind of like where he was first on television. But he's been in the New York comedy scene for a long time. He does a podcast with our friend Charlemagne the God called Brilliant Idiots. And I saw him live and he just had a baby. So a lot of his comedy is talking about going through the process of that. And he was talking about what you were just talking about with the fingers. And he said he didn't know that that was going to happen. And it happened right in front of him when he was getting checkups.

He's like, dude, what is happening right now? But definitely, if you see Andrew Schultz somewhere in your city, go see him because it is a really good show. I think, Julianne, you would absolutely love this. I'm going to Google him now. Yeah, do it. Enough of the baby talk. I was just in Dallas. Again, now I can tell you why i was in dallas the woody show is

coming to 97.1 the eagle in dallas weekday mornings the official start date is not announced yet i don't think but it will be soon also if you're listening to the station right now you're gonna hear some teasers they call them little soundites of the Woody show. So if you are in or around Dallas-Fort Worth, make sure you put the Eagle back on your dial because the Eagle was actually a heritage radio station that's been around for a really long time. And I know people loved it. It went through some stuff where it wasn't that for about a year,

and now they're going back to the OG Eagle. For radio nerds, you will get this but it's a hundred thousand watt station so it covers a lot of texas yeah so here in los angeles i think we're on a 65 000 watt station something like 67 000 maybe yeah so like sometimes when i'm parked in san diego i can hear the station clearly. Yeah. So that's $65,000. This is $100,000 plus. Flat. Texas, flat.

Yeah. So it covers a lot. It was fun being in Texas, though. Everyone's very nice. Dude, Julianne, they're having chili cook-offs in the office. Stop it. Yeah. No, in the office?

Yeah, it was cool. During the lunch break, they're like, all right, everybody vote for your favorite chili that somebody brought in. Yeah, it was really cool. Everyone, very nice they're like, all right, everybody vote for your favorite chili that somebody brought in. Yeah, it was really cool. Everyone, very nice. I'm very happy to be part of the station. I'm going to be in Dallas quite a bit. It's fun for me, actually. This is a return to the station for me. And to speak of the wattage of the station, the Reach Menace, years ago, I was on a different City Cage show that was on the Eagle,gl and my friends and the band calabrese were literally on tour driving through the state of texas picked up 97 won the eagle and they're listening to the host of um six cents at the time he was being schooled by somebody on the radio about guardians of the

galaxy and captain america the winter soldier like who's this guy schooling this right is that bort holy crap that's our homie so it's a really powerful station it's kind of fun for me to be back on it again after all these years I know and I mean everybody knows this Texas is just like blowing up like crazy and Dallas Fort Worth so many things are coming to Dallas talked about Cosm that, this burger chain that I grew up on, who was only in the San Francisco Bay Area since the 1950s. Their first expansion outside of the San Francisco Bay Area is in Texas. I went to their Frisco location that they just opened up.

The place is called Nations. I almost cried because it's like my childhood, delicious pies, delicious hamburgers, awesome breakfast. And then our friends at Lazy Dog, they were like the corporate office. They were in town because they just opened a new location in Garland, Texas. And we went and had dinner with them. It was awesome. It felt like we were still at home because I know Texas is annoyed by this.

But so many people from California are moving to Texas and bringing their businesses to Texas. Dude, even our friends at Daiso, they've had a mega expansion into Texas. So even when you're going to your local stores, they're almost like you have in California. Yeah. And the best part is Tyler has moved out of Texas. Yes! So we're good on that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I loved Austin, Texas is badass. It is. I loved it over there. Yeah yeah it's so much fun but if people don't know and they're just checking out the podcast for the first time tyler you did move to houston texas for two years and you loved the experience yeah i absolutely loved it i'm kind of jealous that you've been going back to texas let's go a little bit come along so dude hey hey anytime you're down and i'm not working i will gladly join you i'd love i just love texas dude that place rules but now houston was such a great spot dude it's more the working class city i guess of texas but it's

so dope dude there's so much to do they call dallas the beverly hills of texas that's exactly what it is it's funny because houston and dallas both have like a rivalry against each other those people if like if you're in houston they find out you're from dallas they don't like you and then vice versa like the other way it's almost like no but nah san francisco versus la yeah yeah honestly it's it's pretty similar to san francisco la and then people from san antonio will be like oh we hate both of you but that's like san diego nobody cares about you. It's pretty similar, but nah, dude, like the food is bomb. The area is nice. The one thing I loved about Texas is like when you get about 45 minutes

outside of any major city, it's literally just wide open countryside. You go 45 minutes of LA, you're still inside a bunch of concrete dude yeah i love texas dude i miss it so much it's great and there's some stuff i can't announce yet on what we're doing there event wise but i think like on my calendar i would love to go to the tyson jake paul fight that's happening in july in dallas also there's a game i think I mentioned last podcast, August 26th, a Saturday day game between the Cowboys and the Chargers. That'll be fun. And it's just a good time, man.

Even though when we were there, the storm that came in, dude. Oh, yeah. I was going to ask if you were there for that. It was no joke. Yeah. Knocked out a lot of power. There were like almost hurricane style winds happening. I was with Woody.

So Woody was facing me. He wasn't facing the window. And so I could see behind him the light posts outside are just swinging back and forth like they're going to break off. Lightning is filling the sky and lighting it up. And I was going to tell Bort, I was like, hey, man, you might be able to hear some of the thunder through the microphones from us broadcasting there. But it was a wild time. And then when we went to Garland, Texas, to go hang out at the new Lazy Dog there, all we saw was like just trees on the ground just knocked over. Wild.

Yeah, that's one thing. If you're moving from California to Texas, you will see more thunderstorms than you've ever seen in your entire life. And they are wild. Yeah, no, thank you. texas you will see more thunderstorms that you've ever seen in your entire life and they are wild yeah plus depending on where you live if you live closer to dallas you'll probably get an occasional tornado warning if you live closer to houston you're gonna get a hurricane i can actually say i drove through a tropical storm it was kind of fun oh yeah yeah that's why you want to see Twister so bad because he misses the weather. I didn't see it. I lived it. Oh, God.

Shut up. I know. I'm sorry. It's funny. They're like, when we were there, they were saying, oh, sorry about the weather. And I go, dude, I feel like I'm, you know, at least living the gray for months on end here in Los Angeles, man. Like, turn on the sun. I mean, the sun just came out now, but these early mornings where it's just gray, can summer start already.

I hate the way it looks in the morning. Yeah, and the only people that say that they love it are people that don't go anywhere. Exactly. No, because I go places and I love it, okay? I don't want the heat. I've had enough of the heat of this San Fernando Valley my whole life. I like cool air. It's refreshing.

No more. Honestly, not. Same with the cool air. I went to Disneyland yesterday. Even with the sun out, it was nice and cool. It was a gorgeous day, dude. Perfect weather. I don't need this.

Oh, it's going to be 103. I don't need that bull crap, dude. No, dude, no. I want it, too. You don't need that. Put me in the water while you're at it well because tyler runs hot that's why yes it's true it's true it's so wild because i run absolutely hot and my girlfriend runs insanely cold oh it's literally polar opposites of each

other dude no we'll be outside lady okay i'll keep you warm here we'll be out the cold night at disneyland pixar fest we'll be outside and it'll be maybe somewhere between 75 and 80 and she'll say i'm freezing i'm like you're insane i probably like her i'm freezing honestly you people who run cold i don't i don't get it dude although i'd probably rather do that than run hot, but still. I was in the pool like two weeks ago and we set up the heat to like 90, right? And then it was like 80 something outside. And then so when you put your head above the water, you feel like you're in Alaska. Yeah. You know, it's just too freaking cold.

I want the 100 plus. I need it. I want it. But Tyler, I don't even know how you survived in texas though because when i did get off the plane it felt like i was in hon lulu because of the yeah the wet humidity yeah i loved it again i wasn't complaining but tyler i don't know how you went through it i can imagine how many pairs of underwear he went through on a daily basis so i'm gonna be real so what you what

you experienced in dallas is really nothing so when i first moved to houston i had friends tell me if you could survive the humidity here in the summer you could pretty much live in florida so it's pretty bad but there were some days where you go outside and you're like i've been out here for 30 seconds i'm already drenched in sweat what the hell is is happening? Oh, yeah. So you just try to stay inside. It helped that both the jobs I had at the time were inside, so it was nice and cool. But, yeah, no, that humidity is no joke, dude. It sucks that my car had leather seats, too. Oh, yeah.

It's so wet. Yes. Yeah, I met us. I love when you talk like that. Oh, yeah. So wet. You know what's been disappointing, though? Because I've already been to Dallas a couple of times this month.

I haven't had time to go to Buc-ee's because the Buc-ee's is like, well, it's like 45 minutes out of the way. So I haven't had time to go. So I need to go there for more of an extended period of time where I have some downtime so I can make it out to By's but bucky's as we talked about is expanding to arizona phoenix and they're expanding to denver which i'm gonna be in denver i think for a childish gambino show so that's gonna be fun nice is there one coming here in california did we already talk about that because the bucky's yeah no i saw oh just arizona is gonna be the closest one so far kind of like waffle house dude waffle house why are you stopping right at the border i think it's a Oh. Just Arizona is going to be the closest one so far. Kind of like Waffle House. Dude. Waffle House. Why are you stopping right at the border?

I think it's a conspiracy. Castle, why are you stopping at the border? I think it's a conspiracy. I think Big Fast Food is keeping them out because they know that they're going to crush them all once they come over to California. They're going to roll. No, I'll be real. If Waffle House came to California, it's over for Denny's and IHOP.

I would never go again. Oh, 100. Oh, my God. Oh my God. I literally went to IHOP yesterday and it smelled like sewer as soon as I walked in. Like what the hell? Like usually their bathrooms smell like that. I'm okay with it. Whatever.

It smelled like straight butt. And I was so disappointed because I freaking love IHOP. Did you stay or did you walk out? I stayed because I really wanted some cheesecake pancakes. Bro, she's pregnant and almost dilated. You know she's staying. Apparently not that bad. My dad's all, let's hit up Denny's.

I was all, no way. They don't got cheesecake pancakes. I ain't going there. Dude, I walked out of a Red Lobster. I shared this on the Woody show that I was like thinking, I'm like, man, I haven't been in Red Lobster forever. Super excited. And then I went into location. Like when I walked in, I was like, oh'm like man I haven't been in Red Lobster forever super excited

and then I went into location like when I walked in I was like oh it looks kind of dirty and then when they're walking us through the restaurant I'm like oh it looks even more dirty and then we sit down and I go you know what you want to leave and I walked out and then a couple weeks later guess what happens files for bankruptcy no yeah so that's what's going on since we're talking about food you want to talk a little food news oh yeah all right here we go welchers have new canned cocktails everybody oh god this is at least not a seltzer but it's a canned cocktail i love some welchers grape juice so obviously they're gonna have grape they're gonna have cranberry watermelon mule and passion fruit mojito all in or all out i think i'll give it a try but i feel like stuff

like that gives you stomach aches too sugary you know yeah i i'll i'll be down to at least try it i'm down for anything watermelon flavored so i'll try it but i don't know i don't know yeah all right i'll give it a shot why not okay it sounds like it's fun i mean i did finally try those um arizona hard teas menace that you tossed me a couple of oh really uh the fruit punch flavor dope yes love it mango not so much mango tastes like the probably the worst flavor of four loco you could imagine oh god it was pretty gnarly all right well i also don't have uh too much food news food news has been so light lately mcdonald's though in canada they debuted a churro sauce that you can put on your french fries are you all in or all out

okay why isn't that here why does yeah why what are they doing that makes them so special? Like, what the actual hell? I'm telling you, McDonald's and KFC all over the world have so many more items that are freaking delicious. They also announced, I can't even pronounce it. It's masala sauce. M-A-S-A-L-A. Masala. Masala. Masala sauce. Like chicken masala.

Yeah, it's masala. Masala. Masala. I don't. Like chicken masala. Yeah, it's masala. Masala. Masala. I don't know what that is, but that's also available. That looks kind of fun, though. The stuff that you put on a churro, is it like a frosting or is it like a mustardy sauce? Does it say what it is? It's like that cinnamony sauce.

Yeah, it's kind of like a cinnamon sauce. Yeah, kind of like... Did you guys ever get the... Did you guys ever get the cinnamon cheesecake bites from Del Taco? Oh, yeah. Oh, so good. They had the same sauce drizzled on top of it. Oh, so good. Drizzle me.

I want to be drizzled. I do get those balls from Taco Bell. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? The Cinnaballs or whatever they're called. Oh, you bite into it and it's just so creamy in your mouth. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? The Cinnaballs, or whatever they're called. Oh, you bite into it and it's just so creamy in your mouth.

Oh, my God, yes. Are you guys sticking with any fast food places with all this inflation? Is there any that you're like, I will stand with this one because their prices are good? Like Taco Bell for me,

their prices have stayed pretty consistent. Consistent, yeah. So I'll keep going? Not just because they're a sponsor, but I feel like Raising Cane's has stayed consistent with their pricing.

Right. McDonald's is going to bring everybody back this month with their $5 meals, so that's good. I think Wendy's said that they're going to be lowering some prices as well because, again, people are tapped out. Now, this is what's scary. So I do a lot of research for the show to see, like, okay, what would be things that people want to win on the

show? Right. So giveaways, there's a little behind the scenes. So I do my research and what's scary is I just did some research this week and people are not even searching to buy stuff. So that means for sure people just don't have money to spend because they're not even thinking about spending money. Yeah. Cause everything has gone up to the point where I don't think anybody has any money. Like, I've had some recent vet bills and such. Dude, that took everything you can imagine because those prices aren't going down.

Those are still going through the roof. So imagine if you had a hospital bill, you don't have health insurance, or even worse, you do have health insurance and your premium went up. It is gnarly right now. It is. If you can afford a restaurant takeout over fast food

and when you go to the grocery store the things like cheese egg bread have all skyrocketed to the point where you're like i can't even make a sandwich what do you got man yeah it's i will say me my brother and my mom went out to uh chili's maybe about a week ago and they have that three for 10.99 thing i think it's like three for me or whatever you get a drink that is refillable so any fountain drink you get an appetizer and then you get an entree for 10.99 it's cost more to literally get like a quarter pounder at mcdonald's dude me and my dad and my brother went to IHOP. My dad paid for the bill and literally he almost like crapped himself. He's like, I can't believe I just spent $75 and 85 because I had a tipper.

What the hell? Suggested tip my butt. I'm like, dad, seriously, calm down, kick back. So $85 yesterday at IHOP for breakfast. And then at dinner, Kevin went and got Wabba Grill and he spent $60 and it was for me, him, and Felicity. Are we going to Ruth Chris? Yeah, man.

It's just too out of control, dude. Yeah, it's crazy. Too out of control. But you know who's like super out of control? Is freaking Carl's Jr. They can kiss my ass. Like, why are they so expensive and they're so good? I feel you, Julianne, but I think Carl's Jr. Has always been more expensive than

The other fast food restaurants Why I think they hold themselves As like a little bit higher quality Than a regular fast food place But aren't they Well cause they were like the gourmet burger So they were like we hand do this

Here like we actually do this here. Like, we actually do. It's a bigger burger. It's a heavier burger, as opposed to, say, the other burger fast food places. So that's what they would kind of do, and they would show you the quality. So they were always like a couple bucks more. But, man, when you go into Burger King, and it costs $35. I told you, I walked out. I'm like, I'm going to go to the bar down the street.

I'm good. I'll be real. There is no excuse for Burger King to be that expensive. You are not that good to be that expensive. You need people. And I'm not knocking Burger King. I love Burger King, but yes. I did too. That's why I was going there. You need to get butts in seats there, you know what I'm saying? Versus all these other places.

Also, if we're talking fast food places that had stayed consistent. And then now it's only gone up gone up i think like a couple cents as opposed to these places that are going up like yeah the ceo and um you know her family is the founders they she said that she had to fight her board on the amount of money that they would raise things because they wanted to go even higher but she said no way and then so that's the agreement that they came up with on the pricing on that stuff. Oh, by the way, Carl's Jr., if you're listening anywhere east of California, they're called Hardee's.

In the Hardee's version, you can get some biscuits, which is pretty good. I've been to Hardee's one time and they are pretty good. I mean, they taste similar, but I feel like Hardee's might be a little bit better. I'm not sure why, but. I think they have a little more items there than Carl's Jr. Same company, though. And if you're somewhere in Southern California or anywhere around there and you see a Carl's Jr. with a green burrito, get

the green burrito. It's pretty dope. It's worth it. We used to have one in San Francisco, a Carl's Jr. green burrito spot that I would go to all the time, but it became overran with homeless people, and they shut down. Dude, so I was over just over yonder on the border of Simi valley off the 118 and i found the mecca of

food places it was like the island of misfit food places you had a carl's jr with a green burrito you had a daphne's greek restaurant you had a rubio's yeah and there was like one more place i'm like what are these all doing here Did they just land in this one spot and stayed? We have all those things in Laverne. Like all those places you just named are in Laverne. Yeah, but are they all specifically in one spot though? One spot. I mean, Laverne, you go five minutes east or west, you're out of the city.

Yeah, see, look, that's five minutes of driving time. I'm not doing that. Tyler needs it all right there right now. He needs it now. now okay so no joke so over over by the point of hills mall i guess that's technically like hacienda heights over by the point of hills mall if you go behind it there's a costco right next to that i'm not even joking there's a tommy's there's a chili's there's a red lobster there's a golden corral there's an olive garden, and there's a Marie Callender's that's like a block from Olive Garden.

They're getting rid of all the Marie Callenders. I know, they're actually only a couple locations. It sucks because there used to be one in like Studio City or... Yeah. Yeah. Sucks. I love Marie Callender's. What's going on? Hold up. Marie Callender was a real person. Yes!

I didn't know that either. I did not know there was a person named Marie Callender was a real person. Yes! I didn't know that either. I did not know that was a real person. I did not know there was a person named Marie Callender. I thought it was just a catchy name. Hold on. Blow Tyler's mind right now. Tyler, did you actually know that there's a guy that's really named Tommy from Tommy's? Well, obviously, yes. That one was very obvious. And Tyler, I'm going to blow your mind a little bit more.

You know Mrs. Fields cookies? Yes, I'm aware it's a Mrs. Fields. I just didn't think Marie Callender was a name. I'm going to blow your mind a little bit more. You know Mrs. Fields cookies? Yes, I'm aware it's a Mrs. Fields. I just didn't think Marie Callender was a name. I'm sorry. Do you know the story behind Mrs. Fields? I actually don't. You don't know the story? Okay, I'm going to break it down for you.

Mrs. Fields, actually the first Batgirl for professional baseball. Now, not Batgirl like as in Batman. So you know how they had the Batboys that will go pick up the bats? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was the first woman to ever do that for the Oakland A's. And then she saved her money and opened Mrs. Fields. And now Mrs. Fields is everywhere. So we're wearing all Mrs. Fields gear to the Oakland A's game that we're all going to in August.

We'll educate people that without the Oakland A's, you would not have Mrs. Fields and delicious cookies. Yeah, which is locally strong in every mall. Yeah. Mrs. Fields, not a sponsor, but should be. Yes! Cookie cake! Anne-Marie Callender, she was from South Dakota,

born in 1907, and she passed away at the age of 88 in California in 95. wow i know she's going out of business that sucks yeah now she's going out of business i know her life did like five what happens where like there is restaurants that are just popping right yeah case in point sizzler sizzler massive right i think it goes to red lobster where they just start cutting corners you know they go to maybe like a publicly traded company and then it's all about profits how can you beat the profit margin from the year before like oh let's start cutting corners on ingredients or the amount of staff or something like that you know i'm talking to you radio and it's like

and then that's like the downfall of everything, you know? Stay private companies, everybody. So you're telling me that corporate greed is the downfall? I'm shocked. I am absolutely shocked. I know, mind-blowing. And sometimes they don't even change with the times, too. Like the one I will shout out that as much as it pains me and angers me

that they take things off the menu all the time, Taco Bell has changed with the times. It hurts, but they changed their restaurants. much as it pains me and angers me that they take things off the menu all the time taco bell has changed with the times it hurts but they change their restaurants they change the interior exterior the looks the menu but they keep consistent what they have in their quality but they're like we're changing with the time so that way we don't fall behind you look at red lobster never changed with the times you look at sizzler dude those became as disrepair. They had the same couches from the 1980s in there. Never changed their food quality for the times. And you're just like, what do we do?

The only one that did that hurts me is Hometown Buffet, and we lost them. Yeah. They did everything to stay with us. Oh, yeah. I will admit, Brett is right, because another place that didn't change for the times, Fuddruckers, all those restaurants close above the other. Oh, yeah. That's dumb. Wait, what place? Fuddruckers all those restaurants closed wait what hurts that's never heard of it what what yeah okay first off i i'm more shocked

i will be honest i will be honest i'm more shocked that you've never heard of it but at the same time i'm not surprised because fuddruckers i'm going to be honest, that place kind of sucked, dude. Fuddruckers was not good. That place sucked. Fuddruckers had locations everywhere. You're pulling a Gregori right now where Gregori said, I've never even seen a Red Lobster before. I've never even seen a Red Lobster.

I will never forgive Greg for that. Greg's on crack for never seeing a Red Lobster. Julia, there's a Fuddruckers down the street. It was here since the 1970s. What? Yeah. Okay.

Have you guys heard of Soup Plantation? Yes. Yes. Okay. You know what? Okay. Funny thing about Soup Plantation. Yeah.

Funny thing about Soup Plantation. So I was driving down the Pointe Hills Mall. I was driving down Kalima. The Soup Plantation that used to be there, it still has the signage up. It still says soup plantation on the side of the building. So I thought for a second, I was like, oh, is it still here? And I was like, no, it's gone. Tyler, we know.

They left the corpse of soup plantation everywhere. We still haven't seen it. It hurts. Yeah, there's another version called Sweet Tomatoes or something like that. But they're coming back. Yeah. Yeah, they're coming back. But I forget what name, though.

Oh, wait. I thought it was. Soup plantation wasn't great either. That's just me. Yeah. Yeah, they're coming back. But I forget what name, though. Oh, wait. I thought it was. Soup plantation wasn't great either. That's just me, dude. Why? Because it was salad. That's why. They had flatbread pizza and desserts that ruled.

You're partially true. It was soup and salad. It wasn't my thing. I've been there once. I've been to soup plantation once in Ranch Cucamonga. It's right off of, or it was right off of Foothill. And you know what? I didn't really like it either. And Ranch Cucamonga. It's right off of, or it was right off of Foothill. And you know what? I didn't really like it either.

And I like the salad. Wait, isn't that the one that they brought back? The one in Rancho? They brought it back. Is that new name? Yeah, the new name. I can't remember the name. Yeah.

I don't know. I was just calling the other day. Is this the section of the podcast where we're just ripping on places? Because I don't think TGI Fridays is that good either. That's another place that's falling off, thoughGI Fridays is that good either. That's another place that's falling off though. Yeah, they fell off. That was another place

that was popping. No, that's a bad ass, what is it called? Jack Daniel's sauce. Oh my God. Oh no, I get it. Like, dude, I went hard.

The Union City Fridays in the Bay Area, you go there on a Friday, Saturday, it's like an hour and a half wait. So packed with people. Yeah. Not anymore, dude.

F***. Damn. Just tumbleweeds. Dude, save for the one that's in Porter Ranch. That one used to be popping as hell. Now, nothing. By the way, it's called Soup and Fresh. Oh, yes.

And it did take over in Rachel Cucamonga. Let's go. Right now. You know what's another place that used to be popping? And I've only been there. It's been in Whittier for as long as I've lived here, and I've only been there once. And I used to see commercials everywhere for it, but I don't see it anymore. What the hell happened to Black Angus, dude?

Oh, there's another place. But I'll be honest. I'll be honest. That's another place I went to. It's kind of overrated. Just saying. But it's still packed. Like the one in Burbank and the one in Northridge still have like full parking lots.

It's just like some locations just give up. That's what I'm saying. They don't change. They don't upgrade. And then you're like, you know, who wants to go there? It wasn't Black Angus, the place that like when we were younger, our parents would go there. And like there'd be a dance floor, right? They used to like party there.

Yeah. And then they'd be banging later that night obviously yeah because that was like the classy place yeah i mean i'll tell you what mean prime rib you kind of we've kind of gone down this path next podcast i might have my official food rankings of restaurants okay dude i might come out with might come out with a tier list power presentation next week. Do you know what location is popping in Indio, California? Texas Roadhouse. Dude. I've never been.

I've always wanted to go. I've never been. Neither have I. It's not bad. I wouldn't say top tier steakhouse, but pretty freaking good. Actually, okay. Now that I think about it, two other places. I have never once stepped foot in an Outback Steakhouse.

Never. Really? Surprising. You need to. Just never really had an interest in going to Outback Steakhouse, and the same thing, I've never stepped foot in an Applebee's. Never done that. Really? I used to work at Applebee's. You just said you went to Chili's. It's basically the same thing, a different sign.

Yeah. Chili's is better. That's fire. I'd take sign. Yeah. Chili's got the chicken crisp, so that's fire. Yeah. I'd take Applebee's over Chili's. No. Also, underrated place, Red Robin. Underrated, dude. I love Red Robin.

They have really good bottomless fries. If they bring them to you, if they don't disappear and your waiter goes on vacation. That was my problem with Chili's. I got the bottomless fries. They showed up like 10 fries in the basket. I'm like, they ain't bottomless. Bring more.

I'm hungry. But one thing I love about Red Robin is the style of fry. It's a steak fry, so it's bigger. It's thicker, more potato. Just what you like. When I used to go when i used to go it wasn't on the menu but i think it is now their campfire sauce oh my god yeah so bomb also we're talking over eating places buffalo wild wings kind of sucks just throwing that out yeah they do they

do they went down that was hard their food is average at best you were just pipping them out on all you can eat wing nugs, whatever it was. Okay, that's an all-you-can-eat special. I will get behind all-you-can-eat specials, okay? But their food is okay. They have some good sauces, but their food is okay. Their wings are dry. Their weight staff sucks, dude.

They do. Big time. All right. If I had to choose, I still go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Don't get me wrong. But if I had to choose, I'm going Wingstop. Even though it's a different atmosphere. 100%.

It's a different atmosphere. It's not the same. Dry wings. Okay. Where do you go with that? Venice. Now that I think about this. You know, there's this balmy place in San Dimas called Michelangelo's.

Yeah, but we're talking about chains. I know, I know. But whenever you go to a chain restaurant, whenever you go to a chain restaurant and they try to give you their wings, they're always dry. I have to tell them every single time. I know this sounds really weird,

but can you please ask the cook to take the wings out of the deep fry about 30 seconds prior to when you're supposed to take them out. No, Julianne, I know what you're talking about. That's what I have the difference with Buffalo Wild Wings because they're way too crispy versus Wingstop

which is a little bit softer, which I like. Oh, see, I'm not getting that. I'm getting dry at both places. You gotta dip it in that ranch sauce. Now, Tyler, are you been trying to chime in. Yeah, because there is there is something very important that you need to know. OK, since you have done so twice in the last month and since you will be frequenting Texas more often, I'm giving you this word of advice. Go to Pluckers.

You will never want to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Pluckers? No, I've been hearing about Pluckers. Pluckers is a chain specifically only in Texas. It's amazing, dude. Oh, my. Dude, so you were talking wings, right? The alcoholic drinks they have there, amazing.

That's where I get my Irish trash can that has the full can of Red Bull in it. That's amazing. There's that. But, dude, get this. We're talking fried mozzarella sticks that are massive, and they do fried mac and cheese, dude. Bomb as hell. Yeah. On top of that, on their dessert menu,

if you're feeling dessert after, bro, deep-fried Oreos, deep-fried Twinkies is on the dessert menu, bro. What? Dude, I'm not even joking. You will go to Pluckers. You will never want to go to Buffalo Wild Wings again. I swear to God. You know who has good wings too?

You guys might laugh at me, but Hooters. I like their wings. Oh, no. That's what Gregori's been saying for like a decade. Yeah. Hooters, low-key underrated. But they're also another place that kind of fell off. Yeah.

No, I think that the good locations have stayed, and then the bad locations have gone away quick. Yeah. Yeah. The West Covina one closed, gone. Yeah. I went to, was it Southgate? I went to the Southgate location just recently.

You went to Southgate and then you also went to Santa Ana. Yeah. Or not Santa Ana. Somewhere in Orange County I went to. I have just texted you all the official Instagram page for Pluckers. Feel free to just follow that. Just follow. I love that page, dude. So good.

The Westgate, I'll say, much nicer than the one I went to. Oh, it was over by the mall. Costa Mesa. Costa Mesa, yeah, yeah. Costa Mesa one, eh. But the Southgate Hooters, very nice. Huge. Massive.

I want to say this, though. I want to go back to the original part of the conversation because I just want to slip this in one more time. I know that people are having a tough time it is not easy out there right now the inflation's insane and you got to be tight with the dollar i've been telling you the best and not just because they're a sponsor the best value just to load up a bunch of meals is the lazy dog tv dinner yes dude 10 bucks each full meal and if you buy five you get one extra so look at like how much julianne you spent at like let's say ihop right it will cost you like 85 yeah how about you spend 100 bucks and you have 12 meals not just one meal

yeah so good you guys who have met me you guys who listen to this podcast that have met me you know this i'm a big boy all right these meals these meals they fill me up dude these things are so good man see absolutely delicious we'll also reiterate that lazy dog's half-hour menu still undefeated to this day dude so good so good and their beer club's awesome yeah and then they have a new campfire club that you gotta check out yeah you're not into like beers and ipas you basically get the same benefits as the beer club but a little extra things i would go check it out go to lazy dog restaurants.com i actually took my mom to lazy dog for the first time maybe about a

month ago i didn't know that she hadn't been we went she's been asking me when we're going back she loved their green goddess salad dude so good sweet now not to switch up topics but how's the girlfriend been are you guys going out a regular basis to restaurants or are you still going to movies and disneyland only we haven't been to a restaurant i think in like a week or two because we've been jam busy like i've been really busy she's been really busy we did go to disney yesterday and they did have something new on the menu so yeah so over at the golden horseshoe in disneyland if you go to the little takeout spot that's right next door funnel cake that had some kind of like boysenberry preserve

on it oh yeah bro cream trees on top and then whipped cream on top of that oh my god boysenberry preserve on it oh yeah bro cream trees on top and then whipped cream on top of that oh my god boysenberry so good dude let me let me double check boysenberry wouldn't that be nuts i was gonna say yeah yeah like hold on let me double check somebody's crosses some borderlines right now there's gonna be some shots fired across oh speaking of knots as he looks that up did you see the same guys that broke into the Intuit Dome for the Clippers? They broke into knots? Oh, I did see that. Yeah, I did.

Man, come on, guys. You know what's funny is that knots isn't going to mess around as opposed to the Intuit Dome. Like, knots is all about, hell no, you do that again. Yeah, it's over. Yeah. Yeah, the Intuit Dome, I don't think they even press any charges on. These guys went on the roof. Dude, Orange County police is going to be like,

F you. We're arresting your asses. Yeah. For sure. Come on. Alright. What's the item? Tyler, did you look it up? I'm double checking. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Oh, speaking about that golden horseshoe, Steve Martin, you might have heard of him. Famous actor. Oh, yes. For young people. He's in the

TV show, Only Murders in the Building. But he's been famous since the 70s and 80s. I watched a documentary on him, and he actually got his start working at the Golden Horseshoe. No kidding. That's how he first got on stage and started to learn to perform. Yeah, he worked there, and then he just became super famous. Wow.

Very interesting documentary on how he pretty much struggled his entire career until he, like, popped off. Like, really struggled, but he had huge opportunities. Like, he would open for big musical acts. He opened for Elvis. Wow. As a comedian. That's huge.

But would, like, bomb and then get fired, and he just kept on going and then eventually blew up. It was pretty cool. What a warrior. Yeah. By the way, I did find the... Yeah. Yeah, so it is a funnel cake with cream cheese, whipped cream, but in between the funnel cake

and the cream cheese is Marionberry, which I guess is a cousin of Blackberry. Oh. Bomb as hell, dude. Oh, my God. It's so good. It's like having Blackberry jam on top of this funnel cake so nice i know how tyler screwed this up because he texted me yesterday and said who has the better funnel cake not yeah yeah so okay so that that's a legit question so me and my girlfriend

were debating who has a better funnel cake knots or disney i give knots a slight edge i love disney funnel cakes but knots there's just something about it man it's a little edge. I love Disney funnel cakes, but Knott's, there's just something about it, man. It's a little bit better. Don't you feel, look, I haven't looked this up at all, but wouldn't you think that Knott's have been doing the funnel cake longer than Disney? Yeah. And that's why me and my wife went with Knott's when Tyler asked us, because it's like, dude, they're known for that. They are totally known for their fair food.

And especially the last time that we all went for their um god the the food festival that they had boysenberry festival yeah oh my god we got that uh that rice oh no it was the flintstones boysenberry funnel cake oh ice cream oh so good bomb oh i need to go i gotta use my annual pass most people will say that theme parks are for children, and we disagree. But speaking of kids, I know, Julianne, this is a topic that you want to talk about. Very popular here in Los Angeles. Well, it did hit the Internet, so it has gone national and worldwide. That Northwest, Kanye West's daughter and Kim Kardashian's daughter performed at a very famous venue that I've actually never been to.

That is right over the hill, probably like, I don't know, seven or five to seven minutes from where we're standing right now. It's called the Hollywood Bowl. And they do a lot of live performances, concerts. They do like those things where they'll play a movie. An orchestra will play along with the movie and things like that. It's been around since the early 1900s and they just did the Lion King and Northwest did perform in the Lion King. And Julianne,

you wanted me to bring that up. Why? I was just kind of curious on what you guys thought about it. Cause I've been watching a bunch of Tik Toks on it. And I found out that allegedly Gypsy Rose had went in there with Kim Kardashian and was acting as Northwest's manager. Did you guys hear that? Okay so no I did not hear that but I can maybe make some um maybe I can clear up a couple things. So people might say well why is Northwest part of this Lion King production? And I know that too.

Okay. Well, they might just say, oh, she's a famous kid. She just got this opportunity. Well, the Kardashian TV show is part of Hulu and Hulu is owned by Disney. So that's probably why she got this opportunity. Now the Gypsy Rose thing, I didn't hear about at all. If you watch the Kardashian trailer for this season, which has just started, Gypsy Rose is in the trailer. And I'm going, what the heck is going on with this?

I highly, highly doubt that Gypsy Rose is the manager of Northwest. I think that she went in there acting as if she was. And then allegedly Kim gave money and said, you're going to put her in this part. And then allegedly that's when Gypsy Rose was like, you're going to give this little girl her part. And blah, blah, blah. And you know, she just like went off on the producers.

That's just what I heard on TikTok. I don't know how true that is. I don't believe any of that. I don't believe Kim Kardashian paid money for her to do that. I just think because of the connection that they have with Disney, she got the opportunity to do that. I don't believe Kim Kardashian paid money for her to do that. I just think because of the connection that they have with Disney, she got the opportunity to do that. Now, I'm not going to rip a kid for her performance, which the internet

has done, and I think that's kind of gross. They're just trying to flip everything into a negative thing, and yes, they're like, well, she took an opportunity from another kid. I go, sorry. Well, that's how the entertainment thing works, guys. It's very rare that somebody just comes out of nowhere and they get an opportunity.

Even if there was another kid that got the opportunity, most likely they have an agent. They don't just show up to the Hollywood Bowl and they get the opportunity to be casted into this thing. And I know that there's this thing called nepotism where people get opportunities over other people but that's how the world works guys i swear to god when i first saw the tick tock of northwest singing i honest to god like everybody else thought that it was a school thing it was a school function like oh cute and then i saw that it was like the real 30th anniversary of the Lion King like no way I'm not gonna critique kids singing out of no I Just really thought it was her school play like I was like, oh

I don't disagree with you on that if anything this should be a lesson to people out there be careful Who's gonna pretend and slide in to be your manager or fake manager. I'm mostly concerned about Tyler right now because if anyone's going to do this, it's going to be Randy doing this to Tyler in the future. So Tyler, be careful. Randy will become your manager at some point. It takes 75%. All I have to say is give

some advice to this kid. Hey, look, your dreams are dead. Find a new job. Wow. Okay. To Northwest or to Randy? Potentially both. Well, I think Northwest is going to be okay for the rest of her life. She's going to be okay. Yeah, yeah.

Randy, I don't know. He'll be fine. He's in my A. I try to call him just to check in on him and see how he's doing. He hit me back, and it's always that typical thing where he doesn't answer, and then he hits me up hours later. Hey, what's up, dude? Everything all right all right i don't know just call and say hi so i did get a uh you know last podcast we were talking about randy moments where he'll text and not really give an

answer and you know wellness check right so i did get a stray randy text message wow lucky the other day well we i forgot how it started we had a talk two weeks ago about um you know randomness and then all of a sudden last night he finally responds back and he goes should i do it and he sent me a link to a mecha godzilla neon evangelon collab model kit for mechagodzilla uh would anyone like to take a guess at what the price of this model kit is? Here's a picture of it, Menace. How much do you think this is? $250?

$175. Wow. And Randy asked me. Should I do it? No! Randy, you have enough of this. I responded with, my answer is,

have you busted your ass lately and do you need to relax? If so, then yes. The response was, that's a good question. My response, the answer will be even better. No answer! Wow!

He didn't even answer your question. He didn't even bust your ass. That's a good question. Yeah. Answer it! Nothing. That's the only Randy appearance I've had in about two weeks. I think he's into mind torture, dude. I think we need to send him to Guantanamo Bay with terrorists. He will get them to talk.

I see him going to these prisons and going up to the prison door and he goes, I have a question for you. And then walking away, right? And then he comes back the next day and goes, I have a question for you. And then he walks away again. And he just does that for months until the people go insane. And then the people go, I will tell you everything you want. I will tell you where the codes are. I'll tell you where all the terrorists are.

Just don't bring me anymore, Randy. Randy walks in. So those codes. Let me have a question about that. Walk away. Speaking of Randy he still has yet to give me the answer to how many candies were in that goddamn jar from last

week. Still waiting for that. If you listened to the last episode we talked about that where he was wanting people to guess how many candies were in a jar and they never gave us the answer on how many candies they were. Anyways, I hope he's doing well. I really do miss him.
