Who is joining us today, who is...
So happy to be here.
He actually works for the NFL.
I do.
And we have Tyler, who is in town from Houston, Texas.
Oh, wow.
He has a family.
I get the most cheers.
Why does Tyler get cheers?
Why?
Well, he flew in all the way from Texas.
That's true.
He works on the Sean Salisbury Show.
He sure did. He's on the Sean Salisbury Show. He sure did.
Morning sports radio show in Houston, Texas.
And we're here live at Morongo Casino.
Yeah.
And we're very excited to be here.
We always love hanging out at Morongo.
And apparently a couple of you guys already got here way early that I saw a photo.
Were you hanging out at the pool before?
Yes.
Yeah.
How was that? It was perfect the pool before? Yes. Yeah. How was that?
It was perfect.
The weather was great.
Yes.
We got off of work and I was like, hey, how quick can I get out here?
Yes.
And how much time can I have at the pool before we record?
So I had about two hours at the pool before we were even here.
Oh my God.
That's amazing.
Dude, it's a bar and there's a pool.
What do you think I'm going to do?
I'll jump right in.
I'm going to take my time getting out here.
That's awesome. Hold on. So I'm driving with Randy the I'll jump right in. I'm going to take my time getting out here. That's awesome.
Hold on.
So I'm driving with Randy the whole time.
This dude refuses to get in the carpool lane whatsoever.
He does drive with a cool lady.
Oh, I thought you were driving, Eric.
No, no.
I drove with my fiance.
We drove together.
Oh, so it was Randy and Tyler.
Why didn't you get in the carpool lane?
I'm a safe driver, man.
We get there when we get there.
I'm a safe driver, man. We get there when we get there. I'm sorry.
I'm not going to merge into the carpool unless I'm allowed to legally.
So how long did you wait?
Like 90 miles?
I can confirm. 77 miles from Downey to out here at Morongo.
There was no opening in the carpool lane.
I can confirm that he merged illegally into the carpooling several times. Oh, wow.
It's okay. He works for the NFL.
It doesn't count. We're very excited
to have everybody here together.
I usually, you know, Randy,
he doesn't work with us
anymore on a daily basis. He's moved
on to greener pastures. We have
Tyler, who is in Houston.
And I never, you know, we never
really get any updates from Tyler too much.
A man of mystery, always working.
He doesn't text us anymore.
He's on a group chat.
We get these little tidbits of what's happening in Houston.
And we actually read a story this morning.
Oh, no.
That Houston is one of the number one places that people are moving to in America.
Yes, I can actually confirm that.
Now, do you see a difference in the time
that you've been there and the population is growing?
A little bit, yes.
There's a lot more houses being built in the suburbs.
That's really easily or easy to tell.
But the reason I know this for a fact
is because my childhood best friend,
his wife, his two kids, they moved there last year.
One of my other best friends and his wife moved into my apartment complex about a month ago.
And one of my other best friends and her girlfriend
are moving into a house in Houston in two days.
Jeez.
The city is so big.
I learned this from Tyler.
There are two airports in the same city.
That's just...
No, no, no.
Within the same city limit.
And they're very close to one another. Yeah, and they're big airports, right? Yeah, they, no. Within the same city limit. They're very close to one another.
Yeah, and they're big airports, right?
Yeah, they're pretty decent-sized airports.
And it's funny because when we book flights to get Tyler to come out here to Morongo,
I always forget what airport we've got to use for him to come out.
What airport is it?
You've got to be really careful.
So the one I usually fly out of is Bush, which is IAH.
You can very easily confuse it with Hobby, which uses H-O-U for Houston.
How easily can you confuse that?
Very easily, I found out.
Okay.
Why are you guys smiling when I'm asking about that?
Okay, Menace, there's been some weird hidden story that we don't know about that they're in on.
And Eric said that...
The breadcrumbs are there, man.
Eric said... We've got to lead it. Just follow the trail. Eric said that the breadcrumbs are there man we gotta lead it and
just follow the trail eric said that tyler pulled the most tyler move ever and let's not forget
tyler's the same guy that went up the wrong mountain once we went no no i know i'm not
justified that and we just brought up how there's two airports in the same city easily confused
so what time did you get into los angeles tyler? This morning Where did you fly in from, Tyler?
Dallas
Wait, what?
So I drove to the wrong airport because I did not read my ticket correctly
Idiot!
Okay, so yesterday
What time was your flight supposed to leave yesterday?
2.32
In the afternoon
Yes
Plenty of time to read your ticket
So you went to the wrong airport in Houston.
Yes.
And then what happened?
Did you walk through the gate or did you?
So I get to the ticket counter.
I type in the code.
Yeah.
And I notice it's not working.
So the woman who's helping me, she looks at it and she's like, oh, you're at the wrong airport.
Wait.
And I was like.
Wait, wait wait wait so
you made it through tsa you made it no no i hadn't got it through tsa oh my god so this is that like
the the that was gonna be weird yeah so i just look at my i have never felt my eyes get bigger
my jaw hit the floor like the most oh my god i effed up okay so badly you remember me giggling you remember me yeah yeah
earlier today i couldn't tell you and i was like dude when you hear this story so but tyler as a
responsible human being you gave yourself plenty of buffer time to drive to the other airport
to get to your flight right so there was technically yes there was buffer time but
there was one catch he drove to the wrong airport.
No, no, no.
There was that, yes.
No, no, no.
If I would have drove and parked directly
in the airport parking lot,
I would have probably had just enough time
to grab my car and drive to the other one.
Okay.
The problem is I parked at one of those parking spots
that are off the airport grounds,
and I shuttled to the airport so there wasn't going to
be enough time for me to shut all of that grab it and then do it again it wasn't going to happen
wait okay so no wait well there's one part we're forgetting about the story too oh no there's more
to the story there's a lot more well in the beginning of this story uh tyler booked his
own flight bro i've been to houston yeah i've been been to Houston and he's like, oh, I went to
the wrong Houston. I was like, oh, did you go to Hobby or George W?
And he's like, uh, George W.
The worst part about it too.
So, continue.
So you're at the airport. You realize
that you're at the wrong airport. I realize I'm at the wrong
one. And she's like, okay, the ticket
person can help you out. I'm like, okay.
So I go to the girl or whatever
and she says, don't worry. This happens all the time. I'm like, what does that mean? And I asked her, I'm like okay so i go to the girl or whatever and she says don't worry this
happens all the time like what does that mean yeah and i asked her i'm like okay now i'm curious how
often does this happen at least seven or eight times a day no way are you serious yeah for people
that are out of town but think about how many people go through that airport yeah yeah seven
times i do this i've been there yeah yeah
so it's a massive airport so what happens is and she says okay you're not gonna have enough time
to catch your flight at the other airport i'm saying okay cool she'll just rebook you in your
straight right yeah kind of so because i'm at a completely different airport i can't necessarily
be rebooked i can but i'm on a standby list okay so I can't necessarily be rebooked. I can, but I'm on a standby list.
Okay.
So I got to the airport about 1230.
I did not leave Houston until about six.
At night?
At night.
Okay, perfect.
Then direct flight straight to California.
No.
Oh.
When I booked the flight, I had a connection through Dallas.
North.
Okay, but I mean dallas is really quick
that has to be like an hour it is so we got into dallas at eight o'clock there was one flight for
l.a uh-huh and i did not get on it why didn't you get on the flight i was on the standby list it was
booked it was completely full oh my god so you hung out in dallas it's
eight o'clock at night you missed your flight god you're a dumbass what happens now uh we spent the
night at the dallas airport we meaning me and my conscience who now realizes that i'm an idiot
wait so you just slept on a random chair yeah okay but i didn't even sleep on a random chair
i slept on the floor so he called us he called us and uh the first part that that's awful is he's talking to us and making it feel like it's
a normal thing like i hate it when this happens they're like it doesn't happen but then but then
eric asked him like okay so who are you with and it's like it's just me and two janitors there's
like two custodians mopping the floor and me speaking okay so you missed that flight and then you know what do you do so is the ticket booth even open
so i got there and i didn't technically miss the flight like i got there before the flight left the
problem was there's no more standbys there's no more room it's a full flight so i asked him okay
what do i do now he said well we booked you for the second flight the next morning we put you on
standby for the first flight out to LA.
And I said,
okay.
But he's like,
you're for sure out tomorrow morning.
And I'm like,
okay, so what do I do now?
Well,
you can either go get a hotel or you can spend the night here.
I'm like,
well,
spend the night here then.
Dude,
that's something that I've always wanted.
You always hear somebody's like,
oh,
a travel nightmare.
I've been,
you know,
I can't get on a fly.
I can't get on a plane.
And then I had to spend the night at the airport
and you're like what does that mean yeah and you always and like and tyler from what tyler painted
it doesn't mean much no it doesn't i you know you know you know me i've been to many airports
and i see those people that are just like laid out on the floor oh yeah it's all times of the day
but usually it's because of some system crashes or some massive outage.
Yeah, or the flight got canceled.
This was self-inflicted.
Not on their own doing.
Most of the things
that happen to Tyler
are self-inflicted.
This is true.
Have you not met him?
Have you not heard
of all the other stories?
That's why when I'm telling you,
when you guys talked to me
earlier today.
You were so giddy.
I told you when you're like,
oh, you know a story.
Has anybody heard from Tyler?
And Matt's like,
I think he's landing today. And Brett's like, no, he posted a photo at the airport yesterday. And I go, oh, that's weird. And I'm you're like, Oh, you know, a story. Has anybody heard from Tyler? And, and, and man's like, I think he's landing today.
And Brett's like,
no,
he posted a photo at the airport yesterday.
And I go,
Oh,
that's weird.
And they're like,
Oh my God.
Okay.
In my mind,
I know everything that's happened.
I'm like,
you have no idea.
And I'm like,
I've been sworn to secrecy.
He's like,
you don't say anything,
Eric.
I'm like,
I won't.
We told him.
I may have told you guys.
No,
you should poke around a little bit.
I'm happy though,
that you saved it for the pod.
We said we wouldn't say anything.
However,
Eric made a really good observation.
He texted me about this.
He noticed that not only did Tyler delete his Instagram story photos,
he also turned off his location so nobody could see him.
All of a sudden, that ask me anything because I'm at the airport
and have time to kill is gone.
And his location is gone.
I was worried he didn't answer any questions.
Because I'm like, this is not good.
He answers like a thousand dumb questions about movies.
He's probably like, oh, and it's, you know, took a lot of time to plan for me to come out here.
And I totally screwed it up.
Okay.
So you have a standby on the first flight out.
And then you have a guaranteed seat on the second flight.
So what happened?
I was able to get on the first flight.
Oh, sweet. Which is cool.
So I landed at LAX at about
7.30 this morning.
On the past 36 hours, I am running
on about an hour 30 of sleep.
I admit it. So he didn't sleep
at all at the airport, from what
he told me. Why? I don't know.
Maybe an hour.
What's the distance? Dallas to LA is what?
How long is the flight, Tyler?
Three and a half hours.
Okay.
So he could have taken a three and a half hour nap.
What do you think he did?
Don't answer.
What do you think he did?
Oh, he went to a bar.
No, no, no.
On the plane.
On the plane.
You get on the plane.
You've been up in Dallas.
Oh, you've been up.
A travel nightmare.
Okay.
Real quick.
Real quick.
May I add, I feel bad for the person I had to sit next to him.
We were talking about that.
Toiletry's nowhere near him.
Slept overnight in the airport.
What seat did you have, Tyler?
Oh, I had the middle seat.
All the way in the back.
Thoughts and prayers for those two people.
What do you think he did on the flight?
Okay, so he could have sat back a little bit, napped.
I could not do that. Got some rest in. He should have been exhausted. He should have slept. Dennis, what do you think he did on the flight? Okay, so he could have sat back a little bit, napped. Yeah.
I could not do that.
Got some rest in.
He should have been exhausted.
He should have slept.
Yeah, yeah.
He probably paid for internet and he was on his phone the whole time.
He watched Jurassic Park.
I didn't pay for the internet.
Instead of sleeping.
But the reason I couldn't really sleep, my one seat, and I was the only standby that got on the plane.
My one seat was in the very back.
You can't recline at all.
Right in front of the restrooms?
No, right next to me is the wall for the bathroom.
Tyler was that last guy on the plane that everybody watches walk down the road.
And everybody's like, don't sit by me.
Don't sit by me. Yeah, don't do it.
Don't sit by me.
Don't do it.
So that's why i offered to drive him
because there's no way this guy's gonna make it he's gonna die and so we stopped at a gas station
to get energy drinks he drank two full-size monsters in less than 15 minutes and i guarantee
i guarantee at some point tonight i'm gonna look over at him and he's gonna have an effing vodka
with a red bull can upside in it of course of course everything he drinks has an upside down
can and some color in it
we're very happy that you made it here with us today it was quite a journey
i'm not gonna lie part of me is sitting in the houston airport freaking out like if i don't get
there which airport hobby or george w george so okay um you're gonna hang out with your family
for another day here oh yeah, so I leave Monday.
In the LA area.
Awesome.
Two days, yeah.
Some time to hang out.
You know which airports you need to leave from and to land to, right?
I know it's not Burbank.
Actually.
Are you sure?
So he tells me this on the drive here.
When he landed in Dallas, he realized that his return flight is the correct airport.
Is the correct airport.
So where's his car?
Exactly.
So Tyler, explain what you did so i was able to call the airline they were able to not only switch me to
the airport i flew out of but it's a straight shot instead of a layover and it's 66 bucks cheaper so
i get a refund oh nice so there's a bit of a happy ending. It's a win, bro. But it makes me seem like he looked at the wrong airport for flights,
because if that flight is a direct shot and it's cheaper,
maybe you should have probably booked with that airport.
Now, again, to recap, he booked his own flights.
He is local.
He is the one that didn't pay attention when he was booking a flight.
Wait, one follow-up.
Who paid for his flight? Did you pay for follow-up. Who paid for his flight?
Did you pay for his flight
or he paid for his flight?
It was like
a collaborative effort,
I believe.
Okay,
so you mean
Menace got the $60 refund.
Yeah,
who gets the refund?
Because he didn't pay you
for the last time
that you gave him Uber money
to get here from the airport.
Menace paid for the content
right now.
Yeah,
I paid for that
incredible story.
It would be valuable
because we got to the gas station.
I'm like,
are you going to help me
with some gas? He's like like with these prices no way yeah
what is it california what gas prices when i left my apartment yesterday uh the gas station my house
was 396. wow yeah he's living in america everybody yeah another uh reason to move to houston texas
actually can i just call you train wreck tyler from now on yeah that's fine he told me this
story when he went to the gas station to buy some stuff the guy saw that he had texas actually can i just call you train wreck tyler from now on yeah that's fine he told me this story when he went to the gas station to buy some stuff the guy saw that he had texas id
and he's like what are you doing back here yeah he's like don't ever come back here just stay
where you are true he's like i mean that in a nice way just don't come back all right well we're
recording live at morongo casino here hey yeah yes hey? We're going to be doing some giveaways, but if you're
not here, what you can do
actually is go to our Instagram, or if you're here
and you're listening, you can go to
the Woody Show Instagram, or you can go to
my Instagram, Menace,
M-E-N-A-C-E, and we're actually giving
away a hotel stay for Morongo
Casino, and all you
got to do is go to our Instagram and
fill out the information on there.
You know, tag a friend, the usual,
and then follow Morongo Casino on Instagram.
All the information is there.
Just go to my Instagram,
at menace, M-E-N-A-C-E.
I've tested out the pool,
and it is sick, so it's worth it.
So after this, we have a little meeting,
a little get-together at the Marketplace.
Now, we've gone to pretty much every restaurant at Morongo.
We're standing actually right next to Wahlburgers, which we absolutely love.
But the Marketplace is something that they've been working on for quite a while.
Now, it is all-you-can-eat fine dining.
So they have different stations.
Now, look at Tyler's eyes as I'm talking about this.
Tyler's like, I suffered at the Dallas airport with no food.
Actually, Tyler, what have you ate in the last 36 hours?
Ham sandwich, and I think that's it.
Okay.
Well, we're going to treat you right.
I am starving.
We're going to check out the marketplace.
I'm so excited.
If you want to check it out, as you're on Instagram, entering that contest, which is
going to end by noon on Monday.
Brian.
So I see Brian here.
He's from our station, our local station here.
It's Alt 101.3.
Can you come here for a second, Brian?
Give it up for Brian, everybody.
Brian's one of the DJs.
I saw the hat in the crowd.
I was like, dude, that's a radio guy.
That's definitely a radio guy.
That's a radio guy for sure.
But that hat.
Brian, I's a radio guy for sure. That's definitely a radio guy. That's a radio guy for sure, but that happened.
Ryan, I have a question.
So as we're standing right here right now, is this considered the Coachella Valley?
Yes, it is.
Okay, cool.
Are we on the very edge of the Coachella Valley?
If you go kind of like back west, you're kind of like in the IE, back in the Inland Empire.
So it's kind of like the Coachella Valley, just on the border.
Yeah.
You're like 15 minutes away from Palm Springs. I know.
Usually when you come to like Coachella, I have friends that live in Palm Springs and stuff. You get to Morongo and you're like, okay, we're border. Yeah. You're like 15 minutes away from Palm Springs. I know. Usually when you come to like Coachella,
I have friends that live in Palm Springs and stuff.
You get to Morongo
and you're like,
okay, we're there.
Yeah.
This is, you know,
this is the market.
It's like, hey,
you get somebody to wake up
in the backseat.
It's the beacon.
Well, we talked about this.
Like when people go to Coachella,
like the festival,
they think it's in Palm Springs.
Yes.
But it's not.
Never.
Like it's all the way out
at the polo grounds in India.
Like you still got to go
like another 35 minutes
until you actually see
the Ferris wheel.
Like it's not in Palm Springs.
I know I, I've shared this story a billion times, but when I lived in San Francisco,
I booked at Morongo.
That's why I was so familiar with Morongo because I'm like, oh, this is the best place
to stay for Coachella because I don't want to camp.
And then a lot of people don't know that Coachella the music festival is actually an Indio not Coachella itself
the city of Coachella
and you can't be Stop Menace, literally you were everywhere
you've been at the NFL Draft
you literally were at Coachella, you were at Stagecoach
you were at Gronk's Party
to put on ESPN, you can't Stop Menace
you can only hope to contain it
I'm just trying to keep up with Tyler, this guy, multi-city
traveler right here
as long as I get to the correct starting point.
Menace just documents it better.
For sure.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, I guess the difference between Menace is like,
Menace will document everything.
I will have the dumbest story in the history of time.
Well, I mean, it's very good for the podcast.
Yeah, what happens to Menace?
He ends up inside Gronk's party, partying next to Gronk.
How did Tyler do?
Oh, he was stuck at the Dallas airport.
Sleeping on the floor.
Spent the night.
Now, Randy has a new job, and you have been doing some traveling.
Where have you gone?
I've gone to Indianapolis for the NFL Call of Duty.
How is that?
We have a station there, Alt-1033, for the Woody show.
Go ahead, Brett.
Can we park it here to complain about Randy for a second?
Yeah, of course.
That's when we do the best.
Randy never tells us he's going anywhere.
We don't know where he is.
All of a sudden, we'll get a random picture going.
Working on that.
Man, Indianapolis is a pretty rad town.
It's like, oh, you're in Indianapolis?
That's great.
That's what happened last week.
He texted us a picture of the UFC fight, and I'm like, where is that?
I look it up.
Oh, he's at Phoenix.
Yeah.
It was a fun time.
I'm working on communication as a whole.
It's like the ultimate humble brag.
Well, when he went to Indy for the Combine,
he texted us, dude, you know what sucks?
Airplane movies, right?
And we're like, oh, you're on a flight?
And he's like, yeah, I'm going to Indy for the Combine.
I'm like, dude, I was literally drinking with you
on my couch yesterday.
Like, you did not bring up that you were going to be
on a flight tomorrow morning. I don't want to talk about stuff. Wait, hold on my couch yesterday. You did not bring up that you were going to be on a flight tomorrow morning.
Why am I talking about stuff?
Hold on.
Hold on.
He says that.
I want to ask.
Is he doing it to flex?
Is it a flex?
I think it's a sneaky flex.
Yeah.
This is not.
I think it's a, I'm not going to bring it up, but I'm going to bring it up when it's a thing.
And I'm like, oh, by the way, he did it in Seattle.
He went to Seattle.
He's like, oh, you know what sucks about Seattle?
I'm like, oh, you're in Seattle? Oh, I was in Portland. I was about to tell you. Or Portland, whatever, dude. Yeah, I'm to Seattle. He's like, oh, you know what sucks about Seattle? I'm like, oh, you're in Seattle?
Oh, I was in Portland.
I'll tell you.
Or Portland, whatever, dude.
Yeah, I'm in Portland.
Portland's such a weird, strange, but cool town.
Oh, you're in Portland?
Great.
Thanks, buddy.
Hey, Randy, what are you doing?
You didn't text me.
He's like, oh, I was graduating from ASU today.
I was in downtown Los Angeles.
I didn't go anywhere crazy.
Buddy, thanks for letting me know, dude.
The ASU thing, I was a little disappointed
you didn't give us a heads up on that
because I would have gave you major points.
He's wearing an ASU jersey right now.
Oh, yeah.
Randy graduated from college.
When I get my master's.
After all these years of us waiting for him to go through college
and suffering and trying to help him out.
And what happens?
Hey, Randy, are you going to meet us at the Disneyland takeover?
Oh, sorry.
I was graduating today.
OK.
All right.
I'll give you an honest answer as to why I didn't mention Disneyland.
Because I was going to wait it out to the bitter end
and be like, I'm not going to ask
until it's brought up organically.
That you graduated
from college? No, the Disneyland.
No, no, no. See, he's deflecting.
I'm not deflecting. This is the exact thing Grant does.
He talks in circles. He has a scheme
in his head. My mom didn't even go to my graduation.
A magician. He like,
you know, he misdirects you.
I want to bring it back to a little bit more of sports real quick though. I am going to ask Brian, are people aware of the Firebirds,A. We've been dying for an actual concert venue, an actual arena where you can hold 5,000, 6,000 people.
So not just do we get the Coachella Valley Firebirds, but we're also going to be having some huge headlining acts coming out here as well, too.
There's probably going to be some indoor basketball as well, too.
So, I mean, this is going to be like a multi-purpose arena.
It's not just going to be the Firebirds.
And for this desert, they've been screaming for it for a long time and it's such a tourist attraction as you said like there's
some people that come out from la to stay here at morongo and now to go to the arena you're about
like 15 20 minutes away like it's so convenient oh that's close i didn't because i'm obviously
i don't live out here so i was no like you're basically like yeah you're 10 minutes from like
palm springs and like the arena is right off cook street in palm desert which is like another 10 15
minutes on the highway so it's so convenient to come out here and have a great weekend
and see some sports.
It seems like we're going to be out here a lot, guys.
Honestly, you know what's the funny thing about expansion teams?
Obviously, there's the Seattle Kraken expansion,
so it's a new team in the NHL.
They're going to be a new team in the NHL.
If you nail the jerseys, if you nail the look of the team,
it goes a long way.
And the jerseys, the look of the Firebirds, it's awesome.
It's on point.
Yeah.
If you look good and you have a good social media presence, you're killing it when you're brand new.
Yeah, you're golden.
I did wake up this morning and I said, Eric, aren't you excited that the Bills are going to be in town. Your beloved Bills
will be in Los Angeles
on September 8th
playing the Rams. The very first game of the NFL
season. This is huge. This is awesome.
I thought you'd be excited.
And then I also informed you,
which you weren't even aware of because
when I said that, you weren't even excited,
which I thought was a little bit... I'm honestly
a little salty about it. I was like, that's a little bit bizarre.
He's not excited that his favorite team is going to play.
And then I also let him know, like, hey, by the way, that is also when we have vacation time.
What do you call vacation week?
Yes.
So now I'm a little more excited about it.
Yeah.
So you can go to the game, do whatever you want, get blitzed, have a great time.
But season opening game, banner game for the Rams at SoFi.
We've been to SoFi.
It's a little pricey.
Parking alone probably costs $200.
Thursday game, before you told me about the vacation week, I was like,
dude, how the hell am I going to tailgate a Thursday game,
pay for the tailgate section, which is like $300 to get to SoFi,
go to the game, which is probably going to cost like $200, $300.
You can sit on the moon at SoFi.
But now, you know, I'm a little, I think, honestly, I'll go tailgate and just get blitzed in the parking lot.
It's fine.
I'm going home.
I offer to handle parking.
I'm like, I'll just get dropped off and I'll take you home.
We live next to each other.
Honestly, if there's one window in an NFL building right there where Randy works, right next to SoFi at the top, I'm going to be staring across trying to just peek
so I can see the billboard or something.
If only there was someone that could actually get you in that works for the NFL
or maybe get a parking pass.
I can't do that.
Or maybe you could park at his work or something.
No, I have looked into it.
So since you've brought that up to me, I have shifted my momentum a little bit. Because your mood, yes. The tickets are not as pricey as I thought they into it. So since you've brought that up to me, man, it's okay. I have shifted my momentum a little bit.
Okay.
Your mood.
Tickets are not as pricey as they,
I thought they were.
Well,
tickets are already on sale,
right?
You could throw them like literally 90,000 people in that effing stadium.
Yeah.
So it's not as pricey as I would be.
It's like 200 bucks to sit on the very top row.
We've been there.
Yeah.
It's not a bad seat in the house.
I spent like 400 bucks to watch the bills plays the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay last year.
Watch the Bills lose
to Tom Brady again.
That was awesome.
But, I mean,
honestly,
when it comes down to it,
you know,
I'll probably bite the bullet
and pay it,
but I'm just trying
to be disgruntled right now.
It's all right.
All right.
All right.
Well,
I'm trying to be disgruntled.
Honestly,
probably going to be
the best game of the season.
And I was excited for you.
And then I was a little
disappointed when I,
you know,
you poo-pooed it this morning.
Yeah, you also asked me at like 3.30 in the morning.
I'm just a grumpy person early in the morning.
This is a fact.
He is.
It's true.
And also, in his defense,
communication isn't like the number one thing on our show.
I mean, ask Randy.
Randy learned that's why he sucks at communication.
So, I'm a product of a tortured household.
Yeah.
We didn't know about the vacation.
It will be cool when the Bills play in the first game of the season and win,
and they play in the last game of the season and win.
Well, also, I just want to shout out our good friends at the Chargers,
who are our partners.
Hashtag Volta.
I did record a new commercial to let everybody know that tickets are on sale.
And I had to call Eric just to make sure my pronunciation was correct.
There was no explanation.
It says,
man, it's calling.
I answer, he says,
Khalil, Matt.
It's Khalil, like heel.
And he's like,
no, it's not Khalil.
I'm like, no, it's Khalil, Matt.
Khalil.
Yes.
I just want to make sure
I got it correct.
And also,
I want to point out,
the Chargers,
if they would have won
their division last season,
the Bills would have came out
and played the Chargers last year.
We could have done a big thing,
but they let me down.
Are the Bills going to play the Raiders at all?
No, not this year.
No.
The furthest west they come after the Rams is the Kansas City Chiefs.
Okay.
What, Randy?
What?
That's funny.
Actually, let me bring it up.
Since you brought up the Chiefs, yes, myself, Woody, Greg, and Ravy
are going to be in Kansas City next week.
Actually, next Friday.
That'll be May 20th.
See, like you said, he's a world traveler.
We're going to be at KC Beer Co. from 4 to 7 p.m.
And the first 50 people that show up actually are going to get some beer chips and some food catered by us.
So if you want to come hang out with us, you're listening from Kansas City, you can do that.
If you're listening from Philadelphia, we're going to be in Philadelphia.
That would be June 5th.
Yes.
We'll be all of us again.
Woody, Ravey, Greg and myself are going to be at the summer block party that's happening at Xfinity Live.
So if you want all the details, check out our station in Philadelphia.
And it's a free event,
so all you got to do
is secure your tickets online,
and there's going to be
a bunch of bands,
there's going to be
a bunch of food.
There's a place called
Chickie and Pete's
that I love.
They have lobster,
french fries
that are quite delicious.
Will Randy be there?
Will he all of a sudden
text us that he's on a plane
in Philadelphia?
Hey, guys.
I could swing a few things.
Tyler will fly into New York
before he goes to Philadelphia.
He's like,
hey, I was supposed to go to Philly.
I ended up in New York.
Is this where I'm supposed to go?
I was supposed to go to Philly.
I confused it for Pittsburgh.
Oh, wait.
Tyler's still here?
I don't know where I'm talking,
by the way.
Are you awake?
It wasn't my turn.
I was just waiting.
I was just sitting there.
I will say.
Usually when he doesn't talk,
you just assume he's playing
the MV of the show or something. Matt, I was just finding you mentioned him say. Usually when he doesn't talk, you just assume he's playing the MV of the show.
Matt, I was just finding you mentioned him falling asleep.
So My Chemical Romance released a new song the other day.
Tyler's like, oh, I'd love to hear it.
So I play it, and we listen.
It sounds like six minutes long.
It's a very long song.
So come the end of the song, he's like,
I'm like, what did you think about it?
He's like, oh, I liked it.
It sounded pretty good.
Even though I fell asleep in the middle of it.
I'm like, you fell asleep? He fell asleep for three minutes of the song yeah i'm exhausted dude i mean i would support a radio edit of that song it's quite long but it's actually like upbeat
and actually like and i'm not a my chemical runs fan whatsoever but like it actually had energy
behind it it was a nice switch for once yeah it was. Yeah. I'm a big fan of those guys. They were always
super nice when they were like
at their height. I got to play
Wii bowling with them. That's how long I
played. That sounds fun.
That I hung out with them. We listened to this song too
because I brought it up to my fiance. We're driving out
here. So we listened to the song and we
I was like, oh yeah. So that means they're
obviously they're going to be playing at
We Are Young. When We Were Young Festival in Vegas. What is it? October or whatever. And she's like, oh you yeah. So that means they're, I mean, obviously, they're going to be playing at We Are Young. When We Were Young Festival in Vegas,
what is it, October, whatever.
And she's like, oh, you remember,
they were going to start doing it all again,
but right before COVID happened.
And I'm like, damn, that's right.
Two and a half, what, two and a half years ago,
they had that show at the Shrine.
And everybody was like super excited,
like they're back.
Everybody's there.
Yeah, they had some dates in Vegas that I wanted to go to.
They were going to do like T-Mobile Arena,
like massive shows.
But they're on a lot of lineups for music festivals across the country.
I know that they're on the lineup for Riot Fest in Chicago.
Hell yeah.
That's pretty awesome right there.
Chicago, again, I've said many times, one of my favorite places to go to a music festival
because you can sit in your hotel room and then walk across the street and go into the venue, which is awesome.
And the best festival to go to?
Riot Fest.
Riot Fest.
Brett loves Riot Fest.
I was this close to going to Riot Fest one year when the Misfits first reformed and we're going to be there.
In the last three years, all I've heard Brett talk about is Riot Fest, his Rammstein show, and what's the Star Wars celebration?
Star Wars celebration.
It's almost time.
Star Wars celebration.
Two more weeks and I'm going to be there.
I've been waiting three years to go to this thing.
Nice.
Because I haven't been since.
I posted a photo on my Instagram at St. Bort.
You can follow me there.
I posted a photo recently.
The last time I was at Star Wars celebration, 2007.
Wow.
That was crazy.
I was a 19-year-old young me that has so much youth and energy and thrive and happiness in myself.
He was there.
He's going there to recapture it, guys.
Yes, exactly.
He's going to find it there.
So are you saying that Star Wars Celebration is your fountain of youth?
Maybe.
How do you think I've stayed so young and youthful and happy?
For the most part, I look pretty young.
That's how I did it.
It's just Star Wars.
Interesting.
The Force is strong with me.
But, Menace, if you're asking if there was anything highlighted that anyone else would want to do,
you can meet star of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ewan McGregor himself.
We'll be there.
Oh, hell yeah.
Photo op is $300.
Oh, no.
Worth it.
And he doesn't set those prices.
That's the promoters.
But $300 the moment I heard that.
So what's his cut of that?
They usually pay him a flat fee, right?
Yeah, they pay a flat fee up front for anyone that's actually doing signings and photos.
I'd be pissed if they paid me a flat fee.
And I look at my line and it's just like.
They're making so much more money.
It's going to be thousands upon thousands of people.
How long do you get to talk to them?
Well, so it's funny you should mention that.
It just depends on the person.
And usually there's a certain timeline that they want to cut but it depends on how much they like you so when i was at star wars celebration in 2007 star wars celebration 4 the only person
i wanted to meet was darth maul ray park he was there he was in my price range of 60 or whatever
it was for a photo and a signee everybody else got about a minute to two minutes. I got ten minutes
because I was the only person that
wanted to talk to him about his role as Toad
in X-Men. I was like, dude, I loved
you as Toad. That's a deep cut, bro.
Dude, his eyes light up. He looked up
and he's like, I love playing Toad. Everyone wants to talk
about Star Wars. I want to talk about Toad. I actually
spoke in that movie. You can actually see
my face in that movie. Nice.
Yeah, so Star Wars Celebration. You can find me
trying to buy random ass action figures. Nice.
Have you been saving your pennies?
Are you going to drop ducats? No,
because I just spent $30 at the
Inland Empire toy store over in the 909.
Outside of Star Wars Celebration,
Brett has only been looking forward to this
one toy shop on his way out
to Morongo. I'm making a
pit stop. I'm going there, bro. I'm making a pit stop.
And I did.
And it was pretty cool.
There were so many cool.
I got the Star Wars table that I want to see.
And I spent $60 on AEW action figures yesterday.
Nice.
At Walmart.
Sweet.
I got somebody somewhere.
I'll find it.
All right.
Well, another event that's happening is the NFT Expoverse.
And I'm actually doing a giveaway for that.
Give it away to VIP passes for it.
That costs $3,000 each.
You can enter.
You're giving these away.
I give them away on my Instagram.
That's like 10 photos with you and McGregor.
I know.
I'll go to the right airport for those.
Go to add minutes on Instagram.
You can enter to win right now.
You'll see the post
for the uh nft expoverse and the event is going to be happening at the LA Convention Center at
the end of July uh it's so funny because well funny and sad at the same time because again
uh there's a there's a gentleman that's been on the Woody show. He's like tech expert guy. Many years ago, he told us, guys, check out Bitcoin.
It's 20 cents.
Buy some.
20 cents per Bitcoin.
We're like, okay, cool.
Didn't listen to him.
Could have been on a yacht right now.
So a couple months ago, he starts talking about, hey, I'm going to launch this podcast about NFTs.
And I'm working on a project.
If people want to be a part of it, just listen to the podcast.
Check out whatever I got to do.
It just came out about a week and a half ago that his NFT project that he was talking about sold $287 million.
He took home, personally, $100 million.
What is this guy's number?
Can I put it in my phone?
He seems to be ahead of the curve.
No, he's totally ahead of the curve.
You should follow him online.
His name is Kevin Rose.
He started that website back in the day.
It's called dig.com, which is pretty much like pre-Reddit, similar to Reddit.
This guy is on it, so follow him online.
Going to money real quick. I'm finding myself eating less and less at fast food places,
not because I want to eat healthier, as I should be. The prices are too damn high. Are you guys
finding that? I mean, how's the cost of living for you guys going? What do you think?
Ordering these food boxes, we would get them 50% off because they're desperate for people to subscribe,
so they send you discounts all the time.
So for like a couple weeks, we had food boxes being delivered,
and that would just be our dinner.
So we were spending probably like $40 in groceries a week.
Cool.
Guess who has a key to his apartment so his little Freshly boxes
don't sit on the balcony all day?
Oh, wow.
Me, of course.
I thought that was actually because Randy locks himself
out of his apartment once a week.
That also.
Yeah, he has locked himself
out of his apartment
three times already.
And he one time texted me.
It was like a Saturday.
I was not awake yet.
He's like, well, I guess
I'm just going to walk to Porto
down the street.
An hour and a half later,
he's like, well, you want
these little potato balls?
Wait, but what about the potato balls?
That was before I had a key to his apartment.
So then his, I'm going to call her sister-in-law because it's Gio's sister.
But then she showed up and left him in the apartment.
So now I have a nice little key to his apartment in my house.
It's a Hello Kitty key.
But what about the day?
Raising canes.
It was a Raising Canes key chain.
There was a day, though, that we were at work.
We were live on The Woody Show.
And Eric is getting texts from Randy.
He's ignoring it. He's like, dude, I'm busy busy i don't need to deal with randy's nonsense right now all
of a sudden i get text from randy tell eric to look at his phone yeah and i'm like why what is
he what do you need he's like i need the hello kitty key so we call randy randy's talking to us
speakerphone in the studio and and I text my fiancee.
I'm like, hey, Leanne, are you home?
She's like, yeah.
Can you go down and let Randy in?
So then she walks down and talks to us through Randy's phone,
and I hear, here you go, Randy.
And I'm like, hey, Leanne.
And she's like, hey.
Let's him into his own apartment because he locked himself out
for the third time in, what, five months?
The worst part, too, is you never realize you forgot your keys
until the locked door closes behind you.
Then you're like, wait a second.
But he's not going anywhere.
That's what I'm saying.
I wasn't going to work.
That's what I'm saying. The one time he locked himself out,
he just walked to Porto's for the next hour.
The time she let him in, he just
didn't go to work. So he's locking the door
behind him for no reason.
Okay, wait. I'm still kind of confused.
Like, how are you locking yourself out of your apartment exactly?
Because he's not paying attention.
Well, because for my apartment, I have to turn the key in order to lock it.
And then I leave.
So it's always on me.
Yeah.
Do you only have one bolt lock?
Yeah.
I'm not going to talk about locks with you.
The door gets locked, and it closes behind me.
I don't realize I have my keys on.
I like that the guy that went to the ROG airport is questioning you
how you locked yourself up.
I don't want to have a boring conversation about locks and locking mechanisms.
Let's save everyone from that.
I mean, Tyler, you would be screwed if you're locked out, right?
You just recently said you had some friends move in.
Yeah, so my buddy that moved into my apartment complex, he has my spare key.
Okay, cool.
And he works from home.
Nice.
If I ever happen to lock myself out, which I don't because
I have one deadbolt, so it's
always on my key ring.
You know, what's funny is
the only people that have spare keys
to my house live in San Francisco.
So that's very inconvenient. That is not
a good idea. One
thing that we did gloss over is that you are
the handler of his
packages, his food so it's
kind of like a tier system though because we talked about how randy handles my garbage
and then you handle randy's uh food so if i come home and i it's usually he usually dude honestly
though randy and geo get a ton of stuff delivered like really like are they secret millionaires
that we don't know about man I don't know, man.
And it's not small packages.
Like big boxes.
I'm like,
hey man,
what was that box you got?
He's like,
oh, an AC unit.
I'm like,
oh, AC unit?
Hey, what was that?
Shelf.
I'm like,
what the hell?
They're big boxes.
Yeah.
But now I usually,
it's usually when I see
it's like a grocery box
because I don't want
food sitting out
in the sun
for the most part.
Is he carrying a man?
What can I say?
So wait, I have a question.
Has Randy ever offered
to make you food from any of these food boxes?
No, the boxes.
Oh, he did give us
ice cream.
Shut your mouth.
He did come over one day and say,
hey, you want this banana pudding ice cream?
I don't like it. So I got banana pudding out of it
once.
It's a nice gesture for myself because his food will sit in the sun if I don't see it.
Yeah, it's very nice.
Because we get home earlier.
I mean, it was second down.
There was one day where it sat there, and I kind of forgot about it.
And then I took it into his apartment.
I'm like, hey, man, drop your box on your couch.
And he's like, thanks.
And then I see him literally five minutes later walking up the stairs.
It's all right.
It's all right. Oh, thanks. And then I see him literally five minutes later walking up the table. It's all right.
It's all right.
Mark wave hot.
Hope that hope that Sam is not cooked
already.
Anyways, well, we're
going to wrap this up
again.

the podcast, you have

He's got a velociraptor in his front room.
Yeah, everything.
He's going to have a pet dinosaur in his mansion in the metaverse.

Thank you.
I totally appreciate it.
I got Wahlburgers in my sight right now behind you.
Oh, sweet. Heck yeah.
Again, your hat is sick.
I love the hat, honestly.
Well, it is for the area.
I know a lot of people, if you're hanging out in the Coachella Valley,
they're all really well-dressed.
We are slumming it right now
on the way that we look.
I look pretty okay.
I saw Randy in the lobby on the way over here, and he's like,
oh, you're wearing sandals?
Yeah. Well, that's because Randy got
ripped at you the last three times. That's what I told
Eric, and Eric was like,
it's such a dumb reason not to wear sandals.
I don't want to wear sandals. You're going to make fun of me.
Don't you remember the last time
we hear Randy was wearing
the shortest short shorts
I've ever seen in my life?
Did any of you guys tell Woody
that I wear Crocs?
Because he texted me today.
Oh, he texted me.
We showed him the,
is this Randy picture?
I knew you showed him that.
I had a hunch.
He texted me.
He's like, bro,
well, not bro,
but he's like,
you wear Crocs?
Are you a Croc wearer?
I'm like, yeah, dude,
