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 Bortz, a.k.a. Brett. He's an audio expert and syndication expert with the Woody Show Morning Show that you can hear across the United States and around the world on AFN. Hello. He has an assistant. His assistant's name is Eric. What's up? Sometimes we call him Nick Soundwave, so pay attention to that. He also works on The Woody Show.

And joining us from Houston, Texas, would be Tyler, a.k.a. Heavy T, from The Sean Salisbury Show, a morning sports radio show. What is up, Tyler? How you doing? You good? What's up, guys? How you guys doing? I'm good. I

just want to check in, see how everybody's Thanksgiving was. You guys do anything? Tyler, how was it? You weren't even around your family, right? So what did you end up doing? When I first moved here, one of my mom's best friends had relatives out here. And so she put me in contact with them. They had me over for dinner one night after I moved. So I go over to their place during the holidays. So I went over there for Thanksgiving. A lot of fun. Ended up staying there for a while. Made that big ass dessert I brought into the studio that one time.

Oh, heck yeah. For Thanksgiving, the gingerbread. The thing that Eric could not get enough of. He had like five plates of it. Can you describe this again? Yeah, break it down for us. Yeah, you had the banana bread, all these different sorts of things. What was this this again? Yeah, break it down for us. Yeah, you had the banana bread, all these different sorts of things. What was this dessert again?

Okay, so this is the holiday edition of a brownie dessert my mom makes. So it is gingerbread on the bottom. On top of that is a layer of vanilla pudding mixed with pumpkin pie filling, a little bit of cinnamon, you know, just stuff to make it nice and sweet. And on top of that, you throw on a layer of Cool Whip. You triple layer that. Oh, yeah. And that's what it is. Shout out to Paula De nice and sweet. On top of that, you throw on a layer of Cool Whip. You triple layer that. That's what it is. Shout out to Paula Deen for that.

Exactly, right? That sounds like a diabetic attack for me. It's amazing. All barehanded or are you wearing gloves? Don't ruin it. Don't ruin the mystique. There's an extra layer to this dip, guys. There's an extra layer on the top coming off his fingers.

A little crust. Y'all need to relax. You hung out with them. I have a question. Do they have any daughters for you to marry? I knew you were going to ask that. Is there like an arrangement type thing happening? No, there is no arrangement type thing.

Look, I'm just doing me. Leave me alone. But wait, do they have any daughters? Yeah, around my age. I'm too busy. Oh, too busy, Doc. Too busy, guys too busy he's like i'm too busy doing me yeah i believe that well yes yes look just let me live yo that's all it is let me let me live all right righty lefty eric do you do anything for thanksgiving oh nothing crazy you know me i'm always that

i'm always with my family so we went had some dinner, went to the in-laws the day after on Friday, so I watched the football, watched the Bills game. But my projector, you know how I bought that projector last year for Christmas? I projected when the Bills were on TV, throw it up on the wall at night games. You guys watch that side anymore. My HDMI port or something's

jacked up. It's less than a year old because I got it for Christmas last year for my family. I have a brand new one in the box on my house. I'll just give it to you. I was just more pissed that I missed the first quarter of the game. Randy and Tyler were texting me. I was fuming, dude. I was so mad. Brett is implying that he's

getting some Gregori vibes from me right now. That's just my natural state to question. I'm not even going to deny it. I can be pretty technologically illiterate sometimes. Just kind of like the obvious thing that I'm just not thinking about. It just didn't work. Well, and Eric should expect this out of me. How often around here is there like a major

problem and I walk into a room and click one button and I'm like, there you go. Or is it a gable? Let's do it. Remember we recorded at Santa Monica. I was like, hey Brad, do you have a power cord for me? Oh, we got this. How about you, brett did you have any faux turkey or anything like that i did i enjoyed my tofurkey it was really delicious it

was awesome uh i also enjoyed some tamales they were amazing as well um but it's just me and the wife me and the wife cool that was it um i do gotta say though man did any of you go out black friday shopping because it was trash no i didn't but my family did and they said it was just packed everywhere but there was nothing but yeah they didn't buy one thing no there was nothing anywhere i ended up at a target i ended up at two walmarts you know where i spent money at a bookstore because they actually had good deals. Airborne? Bookstores? I mean, it was graphic novels.

But still. The ones with the pictures. The only really good, true deal that I saw leading up to Black Friday was that 70-inch Samsung TV at Best Buy for $600. Everything else, every other category,

I didn't see any deals at all. There was none. None. I'm used to walking into a Target and seeing the displays with all the deals and stuff everywhere. Besides air fryers and coffee machines, nothing, man.

We walked down the video game aisle, three games on sale. Barely. It was trash. That sucks. Well, yeah, I just went to a restaurant, so nothing super exciting. I ate way too much charcuterie before dinner, so by the time dinner came around, I just ate a little crab cake.

No joke. That was my whole Thanksgiving. So did you take the rest home, though, and eat it later? No, I ordered a crab cake, and that is it. A single one appetizer, and that was it. Oh, man, you're getting bougie on us. First charcuterie platters, and now you're like, oh, all I need is a little crab cake and that is it a single one appetizer and that was it oh man you're getting bougie on us for charcuterie platters and now you're like oh all i need is a little charcuterie platter charcuterie platters are lit also do not underestimate he's saying that i was bougie

it was a charcuterie platter that was on an ikea cutting board okay so it's not like i went to restoration i bought a 400 cutting board okay some of us have to get the grocery outlet cutting boards okay those are like a fifth of that price red is always trying to one up dude i'm just trying to say a lot of people try to proclaim how bad they have it ikea dude nah bro i went to the 99 cent store no dude i went to the 99 cent store. No, I did. Heck you, dude. I went to the 89 cent store. Look, some of us grew up hooded. Others of us didn't, okay?

Hey, man, I was in the trash can out the back of the 99 cent store, okay? Yeah, see? Hell yeah. Yep. Okay, so we haven't had a podcast in a couple weeks. I'm sorry. Been out in Philly and, of course, the holidays and things like that. But there's something that I totally forgot to bring up, and I wanted to get the aftermath of course, the holidays and things like that. But there's something that I totally forgot to bring up,

and I wanted to get the aftermath of it, is when we were in Philly, Nick Soundwave, a.k.a. Eric, was on the air with us during a segment, and it was about Am I an Angel and doing something nice. And it was something about you sharing a story about finding a wallet. I found a wallet, yeah. Yeah, but you were railed on a little bit about you telling the story. So what was your thoughts about that?

It was a weird situation in general because, like you said, you guys were in Philly. So I walk into the studio. Nobody's in there besides Cameron and Seabass. And I didn't know exactly how Woody was going to set it up. So automatically going into it, I was probably in the negative. I was already in a bad situation. Going in there, empty room, put the headphones on.

I couldn't really hear you guys. So I was already, I was doomed from the start. And then, like I said, I couldn't really hear you. And then Woody starts asking me questions. So I start fumbling. I mean, you know me.

I'm not a wordsmith, but I'm not a jackass on the mic. I like to think I could speak clearly. And the second I realized, I'm like, oh, well, this is going south. It went south real quick. You guys are just so great. You like to pick people up when they

don't pile on at all. Take it from experience. Those guys are like sharks. The moment they smell any even sweat, not even blood, sweat, they're like, oh, let's just rail him up against the wall. I mean, whatever. I didn't really care. Whatever. Yeah, if you missed it, it was a segment called am i an angel and you talk about good things that you did i would get into the story again but apparently i don't know how to tell a

short story you found a wallet you brought it to the owner yeah yeah and it had like 170 bucks in it and i returned it to the guys damn awesome yeah that rule i guess i could have done it that way on air and not gotten before all right so check this out uh there's an event tomorrow night that'll be december 3rd at two-bit circus in downtown la ravey and i will be doing our twitch show live friday hour so go to fridayhour.com if you want to watch it it's going to be happening at 7 p.m west coast time 10, 10 p.m. East Coast time. But you're welcome to come check it out live. And, you know, Two-Bit Circus is so much fun. So fun.

Total blast. Play some video games, have some drinks, grab something to eat, and watch Ravy and I do our little Twitch show live if you want to do it in person. Again, tomorrow, December 3rd, downtown LA. We hope to see you there. And it's also, I just want to do a life check-in. How's everybody doing? How's everybody feeling? Are you guys good?

Are you anxious for the holidays? I know you have a big trip planned right there. I'm excited. I love this time of year, to be honest. I know it's kind of a grind for us personally. We're getting ready for the end of the year. I have my fiance and my mom's birthday is tomorrow, actually, on the same day.

Christmas, my birthday is at the end of the month. And then we have this huge trip to Tampa and Orlando next week. So I'm stoked for it. And, you know, there's a little time off coming up. A little break time. You get some time off, right? Look at that. You actually get a vacation.

Bearing the lead there. Brett, you good? No. Why lie? No. I'm like straddling the line of good and bad man i think i'm doing better in a lot of ways i think i'm i'm being a a healthier person physically a safer person uh i've cut back on drinking i avoided falling into my alcoholism downward spiral that almost happened it would have lasted for a few months so i avoided that that was cool uh other hand uh no you know just uh still i'm still not finding fun and things uh the one fun i've been able to find is reading so that's good it's weird guys i'm reading books like all the time and escaping and watching 90s action shows and that's

that's uh my happiness that's my happiness. That's good. Yeah, it's kind of good. You know, I could be worse. I could be eating a shopping cart full of bread like Tyler to drown my sorrows. Look, that was one time relaxing. One time?

No, it wasn't. Okay, maybe it was. Tyler, how are you doing? Yeah, you good? Are you going to be doing anything during the holidays? Are you coming back to California? What's happening? So for the holidays, I'm going to chill here, which is totally fine with me. And then I think it was the last time we had a podcast.

You guys kind of ripped on me because I was considering staying at my current apartment. And I thought about it. Yeah. I thought about it a bit after that. And I was thinking, I'm not necessarily like a depression mode, but like where I'm just kind of like too comfortable with where I'm at. And I'm like, no, I need to make a change and stuff like that. So about a week after that, while we were on break, I was looking up a couple places, and one of my friends that I made out here, she lives at this really great apartment complex. Oh, she, huh? Yeah. Shut that down right now.

What are you saying there for the holidays? So I checked it out, and this place is really good. So I'm looking at it. I'm like, okay, it has a washer dryer in the unit, which is the number one thing I want. Yeah, parking is a lot better. Comes with just about all the appliances on the inside. Hell yeah.

And then the kicker is the third floor is the top floor. So not only do I not have to worry about flooding from below, I don't have to worry about my roof leaking unless some kind of storm just rips my roof apart. I don't have to worry about anything leaking into my apartment. So that'll be nice. That's awesome. How's the commute?

And weirdly, so the commute's not bad. It's not too bad from the 10 freeway over here. Yes, the same 10 freeway that's over there. Oh, really? The 10 freeway runs through the country? 10 freeway runs from Santa Yes, the same 10 freeway that's over there. Oh, really? The 10 freeway runs through the country? 10 freeway runs from Santa Monica to Jacksonville. I'm being a dick, Tyler. I know you are, but still, for the people who don't know, I always thought that was a cool fun fact.

Anyways. Well, it sucks you're not coming here for the holidays. Just remember, though, you still have that flight credit for not showing up to my birthday party. So make sure you look into it. Oh, totally forgot about that. Thank you. Maybe I'll join Eric in Florida. Who knows? No, please don't. Yeah, totally forgot about that. Thank you. Maybe I'll join Eric in Florida. Who knows?

No, please don't. Yeah, hey, what are you doing here? Does the 10 freeway go all the way there too? Bro, the 10 freeway is only a couple miles from here. Let's get on. That's cool, man. Yeah, I'm always excited for the holidays. I love the holidays.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I want to ask you guys, though, what is your favorite Christmas movie? And mine, I'll just say right off the bat, has to be A Christmas Story. If I'm with my friends, it's probably Bad Santa. But if I'm at my house and Christmas Story is on, I just got to watch it. TBS used to do a thing where they would play it 24 hours a day for like a month straight. I don't know if they do that anymore. I want to say they do. At least on one channel

it's 24. And I want to say it's just the Christmas Eve into Christmas. Oh, okay. I think it's that day. Yeah, that's my favorite movie. Anybody else? Yeah, I always like watching the old TV specials, you know? Rudolph and Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Frosty and all that

stuff. And I like the TV specials of like Merry Children and stuff. But movie? Jing TV specials of like Married with Children and stuff. But movie? Jingle all the effing way, man. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Arnold Schwarzenegger going after the Turbo Man. Like that is the epitome of Christmas where a dad is down on his luck.

He has to get his kid the toy. Otherwise his kid's Christmas will be ruined. And has to go through a thousand other things while battling another dad to get a toy. Because most people can't relate to this, but if you grew up in the 90s, the analogy for Turbo Man, that's the Power Rangers toys, man. Furbies, yeah.

My mom tells me to this day how she would have to put that year's Power Ranger Megazord toy on layaway months in advance just so she for sure had it. One year it got stolen from Kmart and cut ahead. F you, Kmart. My mom actually waited in line to get the rubber balls once to get like a ticket to see which figure she could even get man so yeah i love that movie watch it every year my wife refuses to watch it so i have to watch it by myself it was

on tv the other day i watched it while i was uh putting up my christmas tree did you watch the other favorites like die hard and batman returns like i do that's not too bad oh come on i hate that damn debate every year man and every year we already did it on the woody show like in record time we didn't like the first of the november for some reason just got it out of the way it's gonna happen on twitter it's coming oh god um but mine is home alone dude I grew up on that movie I watch it every time it's on I've probably watched it at least some point between now and christmas sit down and watch it like from start to end elf the the world fair movie is a classic for me every year.

The Santa Claus, the first one. The first one's probably the best one for me. Home Alone 2 or Home Alone 1? I don't mess with any of those ones. I only watch the first one. The OG. You don't watch the second one? Second one rules!

I've watched it, but I just, I don't know. I've watched the first one and that's really it. Just for ish and giggles, I just recently watched that new Disney Plus remake. Oh, really? Oh, God. Oh, yeah, with Kevin's brother in it? It wasn't that bad.

Really? The spin on it actually makes sense. There's always that on-running joke, if he was home alone now, what would happen? I mean, it would never happen because he would have a cell phone that he would just call his parents

and all that kind of stuff. Not that bad. It was weird that the kid was British and his mom was British british i see now i'm out i still don't understand the correlation between the families that i'm gonna have to re-watch that and see where i missed it yeah but yeah not that bad it's free it's on disney plus i'll probably watch also slight shout out to home alone 3 for being uh one of the early movies of scarjo and oh is that why it was so popular on the barstool sports top christmas movies that list i got i would say probably because when i saw it you know like the movie is not that great the characters aren't that

great but man did like young teenage me or preteen me have a mad crush on scarjo in that movie that's probably why it made the list so high. Yeah. We're like, why? Tyler's gotta have an obscure one. Yeah. It has to be something with somebody dies in it and it's still a Christmas movie. Murder on Christmas. And by the way, Dark Heart is a Christmas movie. It is a Christmas movie, but we're not gonna

be stupid bitches. Wait, wait, what about, is it Black Christmas? You know, the one where everybody dies in it? Hey man, snakes on a plane flew over a Christmas tree, so it's snakes on a plane, alright? Alright, look. I don't know if Menace or Eric would know this movie.

I know Brett would. My favorite Christmas movie, very underrated Christmas movie is Scrooged with Bill Murray. Oh yeah, of course. That's a classic movie. That came out during my yeah that's like generation now if you said jim henson's uh emmett otter's christmas special that maybe only i would know that but not scrooged nobody ever brings up scrooge like i've mentioned

that movie to people multiple times and they're like what's that and i'm like you've never seen this movie well that's because the muppets one this one's better. I mean, it's true, but it's such an underrated movie and it's so good. And I watch it with my family like every year. So I'll end up watching it this year. I got to find out where I can stream it, but I effing love that movie. It's just,

it's prime Bill Murray. It's funny as hell. Like it's a classic. You make me want to rewatch it. Oh, it is good. Well, you know where we can watch it guys. Where Pluto funny as hell. It's classic. You make me want to re-watch it because it is good. Well, you know where we can watch it, guys. Where? Pluto TV has it streaming for free right now. Hell yeah. Shout out to our friends on Pluto TV.

And as always, we thank Blue Chew for sponsoring the podcast. Speaking about tech stuff, you guys want to get into some tech news? Hell yeah. Yes. You. In tech news, California will be getting its first real autonomous delivery service thanks to Nuro and 7-Eleven. Oh, hell yeah.

So straight up Priuses with no drivers delivering 7-Eleven. Oh, hell yeah. So straight up Priuses with no drivers delivering 7-Eleven goods. You guys can get those nasty ass taquito rollers that you're talking about. Yeah, dude. Hell yeah. And hot dogs and french fries. I thought I saw one of those autonomous little delivery things this morning. Oh, yeah. So there is like little robots that drive around the sidewalks around here.

I don't know if you have them in Houston yet, Tyler. Have food and stuff inside. I thought I saw one this morning pulling into the Woody Show HQ. I'm getting off the freeway. I'm taking a right. Really foggy today for those in Los Angeles. It's where they'll know what day I'm talking about. Like it was super foggy.

It was like a Wes Craven movie. So it's dark when we're coming in. Not a whole lot of light in the intersection I'm pulling through. Kind of like glaring. It was just somebody in a of light in the intersection I'm pulling through. Kind of like glaring. It was just somebody in a wheelchair driving through the intersection. What?

Driving through the intersection at 2.50 in the morning just through the middle of it. I thought it was one of those autonomous things, but I was like, I hit it with my lights. I'm like,

it's just some random person driving their wheelchair through the intersection. That's what you think. It was really a hologram on top of the delivery drone. That's the anti-theft feature. But yeah, it's crazy because that fog that we had in Los Angeles is like basically the fog that I would have every morning in San Francisco.

So it was bizarre to see because it's usually, you know, 80 and sunny every day here. In other tech news, Tesla announced the all-electric CyberQuad for kids. I don't know if you saw that. So you know the little quad ATVs? Well, Tesla's coming out with their own for adults. But just in time for the holidays, you can pick one up for $1,900 for your kid. And they promise to deliver it within two to four weeks, but can't guarantee it'll be there by Christmas. Okay, these look sick as hell.

They look pretty badass. They look like something you'd see on Halo. They look like mini Warthogs. Yeah, they look well-built. Not like some cheap plastic. 1900? 1900. For kids?

For kids. Screw that, that's for me. Yeah, dude, I think I could fit on it. Yeah, I was looking for the weight limit restriction on it, because I'm like, why don't we just get one for the office? I'll ride this to work. We can write it off as a promotional thing. We'll give it away later.

These are sick. Next time Eric thinks he sees a delivery drone, no, it's just me riding to work. Yeah, on a cyber quad. Brett's zooming through the intersection. I just pulled up the picture. This thing is so badass. He's wearing a Master Chief helmet.

In more tech news, I wanted to get your feelings on this. I know it's a little old news, but as people that have grew up and lived in Los Angeles your entire life, I want to know, what are your feelings about the Crypto.com Arena? Do you hate the name? Do you love the name? Is it time to move on from Staples? What's the deal? I mean, I'm going to call it Staples probably.

I mean, it's just one of those. I doubt it's going to catch on. It might catch on as a humorous way as like, oh, going to the crypt is what people are going to call it. But I think people will still call it Staples Center. I don't think people are going to be like, I'm going to crypto. But I did go for a Kings game about a week and a half ago, and they've already swiped all the geotagging for Staples Center. You can only use crypto.com as when you're checking in on Instagram.

It's not even official until Christmas Day, I think. When I worked at iHeart in San Francisco across the street is the AT&T, I don't even know what it is, Oracle, something for the Giants. Oh, it's Oracle Park. Originally it was Pac Bell Park.

Everyone still calls it Pac BellBell Park from the OG. Pac-Bell's not even around anymore. People still call it Pac-Bell. I mean, the Staples Center itself is, when it comes to sports venues, is still very young, and it hasn't had, I mean, if you're not a Lakers fan or an LA Kings fan, it's not like it's had monumental moments that are nationally known. It's relatively new.

It's like, you know, it's Kobe's, it's the house Kobe built. I think, yeah. SoCal will forever call it Staples Center. It's like Blockbuster Pavilion, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, Anaheim Pond. Yeah. Like any of those things. That's what I'm always calling it. I'm always going to call it Staples because that's, that's what it is.

Sorry. You could change the name 6,000 times to the pavilion out in the 909, but I ain't going to change it from not being the blockbuster pavilion to me. Yeah, I mean, I would ask Tyler, but allegedly he grew up in Orange County, not L.A. I heard that. Oh, my God. Stop.

Stop it. You're supposed to be repping Whittier. Yeah. I totally agree with Eric. I grew up with it being Staples Center and Eric is completely right it is definitely the house that Kobe built so like I don't see it as anything else to me it never will be anything else when Angel Stadium was Edison International Field of Anaheim I still called Angel Stadium I still call the Honda Center I still call it the pond sometimes these old names

like don't change I know the LA coliseum has one of those airlines as a sponsor i still call yeah i still call it the coliseum this is not i'm still going to call it staples yeah i will give them credit for this though so whenever you put in the full name of the arena like say you're typing a blog about it if you're a sports writer or whatever it's going to automatically put a hyperlink and that's going to automatically get you to go to the website so as far as that goes that kind of forward thinking i get it and that's actually kind of smart but it's still to me it's always going to be crazy too because there's no way around it's the biggest most lucrative like naming rights deal 700 million dollars and it's and like i said

it's this is staple center isn't some iconic building you know like there's going to be ones that are below this side of the water. Staples Center is the beginning of something. Yeah. The Shiba Inu sports arena. Yeah. Like, I mean,

that's a smart way of doing it though. Right. Since we're loosely talking about sports, I want to ask you guys, do you have any Superbowl predictions just yet when it comes to football? I know we had a conversation yesterday. We were saying goodbye to one of the bosses who's a big Bills fan, just like you.

And he's like, I guess the only game I'm going to catch is at the Super Bowl when they get there. And I know that you got a little upset by that because you hate putting stuff out there. Especially when they're not playing that great. The Bills, you know, they've played better in recent memory.

I think the NFL is such a weird thing this year, and I think Tyler can attest to that. It's like there's really not one clear-cut favorite. I mean, the AFC itself is such a modge podge of just good. But the teams that you kind of saw in the beginning of the year that you thought would be there are kind of distancing themselves. But there's no clear-cut, I think, favorite at this point. I talked about this on the Woody Show.

When I do the DraftKings and I'm selecting players, everything is just questionable. Questionable, COVID, out. I don't even know what players to pick. Again, that's definitely affecting the teams because you see some teams they have a huge high scoring

game and then the next week they're straight up dog-ish. Yeah, and the Cowboys I think are dealing with eight or so players on COVID. The Saints week they're straight up dog ish yeah and like the cowboys i think are dealing with um with like eight or so players on covid um the the saints who are like perennial powerhouses have like their entire first string hurt and out um okay but if you had a pick right now uh buffalo bills of the afc because jesus christ and then i don't know man the rams were the sexy pick they look like but now the charges were the sexy pick they look like but now the Chargers were the sexy pick they look like but now a lot of people are picking the Buccaneers and the Packers because obviously

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers but secretly and quietly the the Cardinals are nine and two in the NFC and they they've played without their starting quarterback and their number one wide receiver for like a month so like I think they might sneak in we'll see how they play when they come back so I'm gonna go I'll go Bill's Cardinals. So for me, my original Superbowl pick is still alive. I originally had Bill's Packers in the Superbowl. I don't plan on changing it. My whole thing was, is that the bills will finally take that last step and get to the Superbowl.

However, for this year, my thinking was Aaron Rogers was still pissed off from last year, and then you add the whole weird offseason he had. I just called this year the Aaron Rodgers Revenge Tour, and I have them winning the Super Bowl. And as of right now, I honestly think that still has a very good chance of happening

because the dude is playing absolute lights out. So I'm going to stick with my original prediction. He got weird COVID. He's been one weird dude this entire six, nine months like of this year. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, man. And then he looks weird and he's got this

long hair thing going on. His new lady that's all influencing him. Yeah. All right. You want to move on to other than the NFL? What do you think to move on other than the NFL? What do you think about the A's moving to Vegas, maybe possibly at the Tropicana? And I think that's awesome. I think it's awesome, but we were there on a Golden Knights game night,

and you saw the madness that was, and that's not even on the strip. That's kind of tucked behind T-Mobile Arena where it's kind of off. But it's at least walkable. I know. Oh, I get it. Trust me. If they put it there,'m down i'm 100 down i think it's a six spot tropicana right there kind of really kind of a stone's throw away from t-mobile where it's at but i'm just thinking like it's gonna be a nightmare because of where it's at like that's on the strip you know like raiders i'm allegiant it's on the other side of the freeway little you know kind of yeah but that's a freaking nightmare.

I think they learned their lesson. Okay, real quick. I've always heard the rumor about the A's going to Vegas and the location being near the Rio over off the strip. But I think they're having some reservations because it has been a nightmare where Allegiant is because people can't get back to the strip. You have people walking on the freeway. Yeah, that freeway walk is pretty nuts for anybody.

So I think the Tropicana is a perfect location because people can come from the back. Yeah. Like all the locals and stuff like that. True, I guess from the UNLV side. But I get what you're saying. Honestly, if they put it there, I'm down 110%. I think it would be sick as hell.

I just think it's going to be a nightmare to build in that spot. And you also got to think baseball games, there's, it's not like a one-off once a week, like Allegiant, one or two games during the week, like an NHL game for T-Mobile. Like you're going to have to deal with that five, six, seven, eight days in a row sometimes, depending on the baseball season. Well, also Nevada is not like California. Nevada will build those underground tunnels.

Like it ain't no thing, which they they need to do for a legion and start putting in some i don't know i'm down with hyperloop honestly i'm down with it it's kind of a dead intersection anyways you have mgm on the opposite side of tropicana and you have tropicana across from it's kind of like the front end of the luxor but nothing really adjacent to it if i'm right or is that excalibur across but that's that side of the strip where the tropicana is pretty dead i mean it would bring some life to the back end of the strip. Also, right next to the old Hooters Hotel. RIP, man.

And I was already looking into who owned it. I remember when they built that. I know. I've been there. It was awesome. I looked into who owned that hotel so I could buy some stock into it, but it's a privately owned hotel. Yeah, I think Bally's owns it, right? Or something like's a privately owned hotel. Bally's owns it, right?

No, no. Bally's owns Tropicana, but the Hooters Hotel, which could possibly be bought or the business would just skyrocket. They put a stadium right there, but anyways, I think it's awesome. I support it. Stop cock-eyeing on it. Like I said, I'm down with it, but

why do I care? I'm not going to be there for the logistics nightmare of it. I don't care. Why are you anti? I'm anti because it. But why do I care? I'm not going to be there for the logistics nightmare of it. I don't care. I'm not. Why are you anti? I'm anti because think of the parking rates that are going to go up everywhere. And the Uber rates. Everything's going to skyrocket because everyone wants to park at all the casinos for cheaper or for free.

Well, guess what? Now those people are screwed. No. Screw you guys. Move the place somewhere else. As a favor for all of you guys, I'll go. Just put me out there for a weekend. I'll scout out the area. I'll go No. Screw you guys. Move the play somewhere else. As a favor for all of you guys, I'll go just put me out there for a weekend. I'll scout out the area. I'll go take care of you guys.

Yeah, he'll do a survey. I'll go handle it, guys. Wait, hold on. I think the rest of us need to go to just to supervise you in this proper scouting location. I mean, at this point, if it does come to fruition,

I'm just praying that the Astros and the A's meet each other in the playoffs so I could just fly over there and go to the game for free. And just do whatever I want. Dude, they lost. I'll get over it. I'm just saying. The A's minor league affiliate is also in Vegas too. So I mean, it's

kind of perfect. True that. You want to go into something fun? Food news? Yeah. I'm hungry. Alright. Here's some food news yeah i'm hungry all right here's some food news to help celebrate national cookie day i don't even have to tell you what day it is tyler i know you already know but everybody else national cookie day is every day baby down december 4th which is a saturday subway has made a pop-up shop in new y City called Cookie Way. Are you in or out? I love Subway.

What is it? The white chocolate boysenberry cookies. I've never had those. Dude, those are like my favorite cookie almost. Those are so good. I mean, you get them and they're nice and fresh. They're dope, man. I love them.

Yeah, who can say no to every single time you go to Subway and they say, do you want a cookie for just this much more? They're so good. Yeah, let's do it. Cookie Way, all in. Tyler? say, do you want a cookie for just this much more? They're so good. Yeah, let's do it. Cookie way, all in. Tyler? They tell me I want a cookie. I'm like, yeah, I'll take five.

Let's go. Add them up. There you go. I have a weird thing with Subway where I haven't been to a Subway in probably seven years. Oh, geez. Wow. And then it has nothing to do with how it tastes. I have this thing where, you know, when Nacho and I were first moving here, Nacho wasn't working. I cut my wage in half to move to

LA. So, you know, we were making a lot of money and we have these Subway gift cards. And we said, if anything like, you know, ish hit the fan, we knew we're in a bad. And we said, if anything, like, you know, Ish hit the fan, we knew we're in a bad place if we had to use these Subway gift cards. We put them in a special place to go, you know, Ish is bad if we ever use these cards. That's your life check moment. Like, yeah, we're using the, hey, babe,

we're using the Subway gift card. It's time to wake up. So I kind of use it as a motivational tool to never go to subway i know it's weird but that's the whole reason i haven't been there but when i used to go because they used to have one right across the street from the radio station i worked at i did enjoy the cookies so i supported the cookie i haven't been since they've read they've done this rebrand this what is it the refresh way or whatever but they've you know they rolled out that the campaign with like

steph curry tom brady Charles Barkley, and stuff. Oh, I'll break it to you, because I went since then. It's exactly the same. I figured. If you're going to ask if they still look the same, they still look the same. Just new menu items, Steph Curry's now your spokesperson, apparently. They changed a couple prices, though,

so there's that. Maybe they changed the photos. I was pissed when the $5 foot long stopped being $5 that's when I stopped hearing about Subway it's like oh it's not really a foot long and it's not $5 anymore that used to be my move in college man because we had a Subway on campus $5 foot long cut it in half

one before class one at home after now I have that stupid jingle stuck in my head thanks a lot alright other food news Canada has a new variation of the McDonald's quarter pounder Stupid jingle stuck in my head. Thanks a lot. All right. Other food news. Canada has a new variation of the McDonald's Quarter Pounder available. It's called the Bacon and Crispy Onion Quarter Pounder.

All in, all out. Bacon and Crispy Onion Quarter Pounder. So it's the Rodeo Burger from Burger King. Really? Have you ever had the Rodeo Burger? No. But Rodeo Burger has barbecue sauce on it. It has barbecue sauce and onion rings. Okay.

So it's minus the barbecue sauce. I'm in. I love onion rings on burgers, dude. rodeo burger? No. But the rodeo burger has barbecue sauce on it. It has barbecue sauce and onion rings. Okay. So it's minus the barbecue sauce. I'm in. I love onion rings on burgers, dude. The crispy onions? Yeah. Oh, the crispy onions. So it's the like sprinkle. Yeah.

I'm still in. Like fried onions. That doesn't make a difference. Tyler, do I need to ask? All in, all out? No, you don't because I'm all in. And my favorite, I don't know if this would beat it out, but my favorite fast food burger anywhere, Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger.

Oh, that's an OG one. Oh, yeah. My God. I know Brett loves the barbecue Western Bacon Cheeseburgers. I did. I did for a long time, but you know what? They have a Gardein version, too. Or Beyond Burger.

You know, it's funny. I'm looking up what the hell is that veggie burger gate to McDonald's, man? That's what I'm looking up now. Where is it? Also, Canada. What's going on in Canada? Because Burger King now has pickled nuggets. So pickled nuggets all in, all out.

I'm in. I'm in. I'm down. I would be in, but I'm out. I'm out because pickles are absolutely disgusting. What? Oh, you mother effer. I love. Dude, come on.

Have I not told you guys this before? I absolutely detest pickles. The worst thing on the face of the goddamn planet. I hate pickles. There is nothing better than going to any county fair and finding the one pickle truck and getting the pickle platter and everything deep fried pickles.

No, I went to Disneyland years ago with an ex-girlfriend of mine and she loved pickles. So what does she do for a snack? Okay, I see what you guys said there. So what does she do? We go to Disneyland and for a snack okay I see what you guys did there so what does she do we go to Disneyland

and for a snack she buys one of like the whole dill pickles that they sell over there yeah buddy she took a bite she tries kissing me after and I'm like

nope like I literally pushed her away that's a good you gotta get some breath mints after it whatever who cares

just go for it honestly though yeah I take that back I doubt Tyler was coming back with minty fresh breath in her face. Yeah, come on. Plus, they also had the spicy tapatio one, so at least he gets some tapatio in there.

All right. Moving on. Pillsbury has a new Reese's ready-to-eat peanut butter cookie dough all in, all out. Yeah, I wouldn't even cook it. Just eat the dough. I wouldn't do it either. I'd probably eat it before I even checked out at the counter like yeah can you charge me for two ones in the trash can i finish it hold on i still have these empty

containers i need to scan the self-checkout all right going across the world to thailand which i i think before the pandemic i was actually gonna go to thailand uh for a visit thailand type promotion thing but over in thailand they have a pizza called crazy happy pizza that's topped with cannabis all in all out yeah of course let's see let's get crazy throw everything on it i don't think i've ever had anything like that where it's a hot item filled with cannabis i've had some cake filled with cannabis where I freaked out. I thought I was going to die. Maybe we should keep this pizza

away from you, though. But not a hot item. It would be interesting. So I wonder if it's like nugs on top. You just sprinkle it almost like a seasoning. You get your red pepper flakes, so you get cannabis flakes. Or if it's cooked into the dough or something. Dude, you just get high from spilling it. Give me some bomb- pizza all right well actually sounds really good i say i say we just try it at home and see what happens happy super time what was it called happy fun time

it's called crazy happy pizza do they deliver overseas that sounds like every like chinese food place in my neighborhood it's like happy happy fun time pizza, super good eats or something. It's awesome. All right. Well, getting off food news, I have a serious question, guys. Now, this is not going to be talking smack behind Randy's back or talking smack about Randy, but I have a serious question for you. And I want you guys to give an honest answer.

Since Randy has left us us he's been very active on the woody show social media channels my question is is randy thirsty for the attention from listeners or does he really miss us now this is not to be a negative thing on randy i just want to know i think if he misses us or not i i think it's he misses us because i think it's honestly it's probably i think it's like the ex-girlfriend thing where he just that's what i was gonna check him back in how's my like but he's he's he's doing it do you still love me he's doing it like like an idiot and commenting so they know you're checking in on him oh so he's ready yeah so like you know you know you everybody has that one person from the past you know just give him a click give him a scroll a

couple scrolls maybe once or twice a week you still love me yeah but they know that they aren't commenting and jumping into the comment threads and listener threads so i think it's missing for the last what five years that's what his life was was the woody show you know if it might be a little sad to think but as he has it's you know it's not like he would actually use his boredom time productively social media instead what are your thoughts, Brett? What a multifaceted answer this could be. I would say, A, Randy was always so nervous of getting in trouble for anything, but now he has full free reign to comment on whoever and whatever he wants and not get yelled at or in trouble or talking to or whatever.

I think that plays into it. I think he misses the attention from listeners. I think he does miss us. However, I do believe if he missed us, he would actually talk to us, return our calls, text us, maybe hang out with us or jump on a podcast.

Oh no. It seems like Tyler's very sad that he doesn't get any of that stuff. Believe it or not, guys, I did get a text from Randy just the other day. What do you want? I know he was just showing some technical thing to me. It was pretty cool.

Oh, he need help. No, he didn't need help. He was just showing me like some technical nerdy stuff. But yeah, I, uh, I got to hear from Tyler. I'm sure you don't get to hear from that also. Do you miss him? I mean, me and Eric have them in our RIP tailgater group chat. That's what that is.

No, I think it's more he misses us than he really craves the attention of the listeners. And I think another reason why he chimes in so much is, yeah, you guys are kind of right where he does have a little bit more free time, but he has a regular sleep schedule now. He's not getting up until, I think, maybe 6 or 7 in the morning as opposed to when he would be up. Maybe when he was covering my job, he'd be up at 1.32 in the morning. Those are brutal hours.

So I think he's more awake. Covering means you came back, dog. Okay, technically, I was furloughed, so I kind of still had my job at the same time. I don't know. Anyways, so, I mean, but he has – I was benched, damn it. Yeah, I was benched, okay?

He's more awake. He's more aware. Like, he's not – like, he's just using his time better because he gets more sleep. I don't know, but – I don't know. He was always on his phone when he was here. And you know what it is. I think Rh know. I don't know. He was always on his phone when he was here.

And you know what? It is. I think Rhett is kind of right where he's like, oh, maybe I am more free to comment on things because they're not going to bring it up on the show about one of my comments and rip on me. And he's not looking at the social media after being around the Woody show for eight, nine hours a day. You know, he's not, you know, we all, sometime we leave this place and we're like, damn dude,

like that was a day, you know, he's in his mind, in his day to day, any Woody show content is fresh content. Us, it's like, we're walking out of it after eight, nine hours of Woody show being drilled into our minds. You know, him, he sees it. It's like, oh, Woody show. I'll dive into the comments. But see, I don't understand the idea of he misses us and that's why he's commenting on it.

Because that's like an ex going, hey, I was commenting on your favorite band's Facebook page. Did you notice? Like, no, how am I going to notice, man? You know, like there's no possible way. If you really missed us, okay, you can call us. You can text us. You can hop on a podcast.

You can show us that you're live. You know, any of those things. He does hop on podcasts. It's not ours. Oh, yeah. Oh can call us. You can text us. You can hop on a podcast. You can show us that you're live. You know? He does hop on podcasts. It's not ours. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. Speak on it. Hey, being nice.

Being nice. Being nice. Respectively. Respectively. I was trying not to say that, Eric. Okay? All right, guys. Well, I hate to wrap this up because I know we've been gone for a while, but thank you

Hopefully get this apartment. If I do get it done, I will let you guys know. Just one other thing. I been in houston for a year and it's kind of freaking me out that it went by that fast i mean i remember when i first moved out here i was totally freaking out because i'm like not only is this the first time on my own i'm literally moving three states away and you know i'll tell you what for the first year made a lot of memories it's been an absolute blast and i can't wait to see what the future has, man. I really want to come visit you.

I mean, the whole crew, like if we can figure out a way. I mean, there is a Lazy Dog restaurant in Houston, and I would love to maybe do something in Houston with you so we can all see you. It's not that much to fly there. There is opportunity pretty soon actually to do something in Dallas. So, I mean, what is it? 30 minutes to fly from Houston to Dallas if you want to come hang out in Dallas with us. That'd be awesome. Yeah, I think it's about 45 minutes.

It's a three and a half hour drive from here. So about the same distance from LA to Vegas. Yeah, we'll figure it out. But I really want to see Houston and see how Tyler lives in Houston. The big living that you do. Lots of barbecue. Since Tyler never abandoned us and Randy did, does this mean Tyler goes up in our friend rankings?

Yeah. I'm not kidding with that. Alright guys, we'll see you next week. What's new with Menace? Outro Music
