I'm joined by Bort, 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.

We're also joined by Eric, who is from the NFL Podcasting Network. And I usually say that he is live in Downey, California, but today he is with us in studio. Also, his co-worker and our ex-co-worker that would be randy guys what's up who also works for the nfl podcasting network and then we have tyler who works for the better sports network who usually is from coming to us live from woodyard california but we are all live today from the blue wire studios in las vegas nev Nevada at our favorite place, The Wynn, Las Vegas. Let's do it.

This place is so sick. Yeah, you think? Yeah, why are we here? They let us in. There's a point where I was like, we're going to get to the door. Like, who are these buffoons trying to get into the studios? They open the door and like, you're supposed to be here.

I know. I've done so many things here by myself, and I'm so happy that we have the whole crew together. I mean, I like the big sports wall across the back. Because we've only seen it from the outside. So when we walked in today, we realized how deep it actually goes. And they have a wall of all the athletes who are getting a rundown of who actually comes through.

You know, tons of NFL players, tons of wrestlers. I know Brett was marveling over the aw shrine over there i was extremely excited about the amount of aw wrestlers and people i mean tony khan the owner of aw had been here uh my favorite dan house and was also here the bad boy joey janela just so many wonderful amazing wrestlers and i was like you know guys can i just borrow this for a couple minutes i swear i'll bring it back i did notice the hockey stick was empty. I was like, I played hockey. Yeah, you can sign it.

They might be like, who is that? But he played hockey at one point of his life. For sure. I know AW is coming to town at the end of the month, right, Bort? Right. Their big pay-per-view is coming to town, Double or Nothing. So they're going to be here for Dynamite, Rampage, Double or Nothing. The whole town is going to turn into nothing but pro wrestling.

So if you need a place to stay, where do you stay? The Wynn. The Wynn, duh. Obviously. We are joined by the Safari Boys. And the Safari Boys, they drove this morning to Vegas. And we had no confidence that you guys would make it here on time. But you did.

No. You should have been. I don't know what happened where suddenly there's no confidence in either of us. But you did. No. You should have been. I don't know what happened where suddenly there's no confidence in either of us. Don't get me wrong. We, I will admit, not the smartest,

but two halves make a hole, so two half brains make one full brain. That's true. It's true. We made it on time. I had confidence this morning when I was leaving for the airport and I had to give Randy a key

because we live, we're neighbors, so I had to borrow his laundry key. And I was like, hey man, it's on your floor mat. So at 5.45 this morning, as I was pulling out for my flight to go to Long Beach Airport, he came out and his wife beat her

and just was like, wave it to me. He was like, bye. I was like, I'll see you in Vegas. But he made it. Yeah, very impressed, guys. Thank you so much for coming through. I was a little concerned about the menace noses. I took a little deviation to go to a toy store, toys in town and i'm like hey guys come meet up

with me because left to their own devices i have no faith in these boys i love you both but i was like come meet up with me and even with me they're like how many places do you think we could stop at before we have to be at the studio uh let's just say there was almost another detour i'm like we barely got here the answer the answer is three places well okay maybe maybe i didn't hear you right but let's just follow me i thought okay when he picked up the phone with the safari boys he was like menace do you want them to pick us up from the airport and my immediate answer was hell no hell no i'm like i won't turn a 10 minute ride into an hour i'm up in henderson nevada you know tyler's history with airports oh we're gonna circle back around again guys and try to pick you up i said immediate like

how quick did i answer that oh i wasn't even within a millisecond i wasn't even done saying it you're like hell hell no. Nope. You're on your own. Sorry, guys. Well, we're going to talk a lot about Las Vegas since we're here, but I just want to get out of the way. Eric, are you already going to get a new car? What happened?

Oh, dude, it was it was crazy. I was leaving work and somebody cut across leaving work in California. Busy intersection. I was to two right hand turn lanes. Yeah. Somebody turned from the outside turn lane across my car. Totally ripped off my front end. It's one of those things, man.

Now twice in the last six months, I'm going out of town, and I've had to deal with an accident as I'm leaving town. It's been a hectic week. Now that's a brand-new car. How long have you had it? I got it in October, so seven months. You got that right after you stopped working with us. Yeah, it was one of those things.

It's one of those things that's going to get figured out. I got insurance it was one of those things. It's one of those things. It's going to get figured out. You know, I got insurance. She had insurance, thankfully. But it's such a hassle, dude. That sucks. I mean, that's why I had to borrow Randy's keys. Because my laundry and mail key, I get the mail and then go to work. They were in my car.

I grabbed everything but those two keys. Oh, geez. The first time your car got wrecked was a wild story. You weren't even in the car but you were almost like right next to it when it got hit yeah i was uh getting something out of the passenger side and i'm literally like reaching into my car talking the phone of my brother and somebody like fell asleep at the wheel on our on our street and straight up crashed into the back fender broke a wheel off and he's like yeah i was going to my second job and i'm like sweet dude

awesome yeah but my arm was in this one i was actually we were both driving so but yeah i mean yeah i've never had accidents in my life i've had two in the last seven months oh wow it's not the best oh geez looking for a good weekend in vegas guys i'm due for a win i'm due for something to go my way heck yeah well we uh kind of talked about it in the last podcast tomorrow i'm gonna be at the lovers and friends music festival you guys are gonna have to you know figure out some things Well, we kind of talked about it in the last podcast. Tomorrow, I'm going to be at the Lovers and Friends Music Festival. You guys are going to have to, you know, figure out some things to do. I think you already said that you might go see Get Up. Yeah.

So our bedroom, our room that me and my wife are staying in, it actually kind of overlooks the beach club. And we're checking in like, oh, just so you know, you guys are on the side with the pools and then the clubs. And so there is some noise, you know, during the day and during at night. And we're getting ready and we're kind of hanging out. And I'm like, I wish I could kind of crack the window, to be honest, like hear the beach club because there's just kind of that like faint little, and then you hear like some vocals.

And I'm just like, I'm kind of like standing in the window frame. I'm like, oh, I'm like, give me like some little sliding window. I just, I would love to actually be able to hear it from the window. I know everybody's, it's not what everybody wants to do. That is not a good influence on you.

All I can think of is that you just want to party the entire night. You're not going to sleep. You're going to want to go down there and just keep partying it up. Yeah.

I know. The wind is always super good to us. Have you had a chance to eat today? Or do you have plans for later? I think we might

hit up the buffet tomorrow. I know we hit the buffet up last time with you guys. So good. I did find something for us to do tonight all right we're gonna go to brooklyn bowl we're gonna go bowling now there was a little smack talk in the text that tyler wouldn't be able to bowl well i've seen tyler's athletic ability

in just general just late day-to-day life so founded opinions i can bowl isn't there something wrong with your arm too uh it doesn't uh my right arm doesn't fully extend okay now let's see now that we have a camera we we have uh by the way if you're just listening to the audio version of this we have a bunch of clips available at what's new pod on our instagram page at what's new pod or on our facebook at what's new pod now show us your jacked up arm so as you can see uh my left arm bends perfectly straight. Totally fine. My right arm, I broke my elbow when I was four, and it never reset the right way, so it does not bend all the way. So yeah, it's a little messed up.

Bending your arm, not important in bowling. Not at all. Not at all. So your busted arm, you decide to put that terrible tattoo on your wrist to distract from it? Was that the idea? Sorry, messed up. Might as well mess it up a little bit more.

I'm just more confused behind the logic of Tyler claiming to be amazing at bowling. No, I didn't say I was amazing at bowling. But he said he would beat my ass. You're insinuating that. Beat your ass is not like, oh, I'm going to barely beat you at anything. It's like, I'm going to demolish you. As long as I get the breaking legs, that's all that matters. You can't even extend your arm fully.

Okay, and? Alright, man. Sure. This will be interesting. I know my place when it comes to bowling. You know your place with a lot of things. I don't speak on bowling because I'm not it. All right? I have fun.

That's all. I'm not going to beat anyone. So when Tyler says he's going to win, he's going to have the bumpers up, right? Like that's what he's actually going to be doing? Oh, stop with the bumpers. I'm not even that good at bowling, but I'm confident in beating Tyler in most things in life life that's what it comes down to like all right well i will let my bowling do the talking for me i feel so bad within the first 20 minutes of me

hanging out with tyler when i got here in the middle for no reason i just started tearing into him it was just so natural second nature i felt bad good tyler did you hear about this your old hometown of houston texas they have a concept out that uh top golf put together it is a mini golf course did you hear about this it's a mini golf course yeah i just said that that is not where i thought you were gonna go with this i will explain so in a second but um no i have not actually seen this now no yeah so it is it's a nine hole mini golf course with a food court and so this is a new concept that top golf is trying i'm here for it i would love to see videos for it kind of reminds me of the uh the steph curry steph curry show rob wriggle i forget what it was like no oh what was it called yeah it. Oh, yeah, for sure. No. Oh, what was it called? It was Holy Something.

Yeah. Holy Moly? Yeah. But it looked cool. It was like, yeah, kind of wacky hills and stuff. As well as videos you click on, and it's like, oh, you realize it's not in your state, and you're like, oh, well, everything comes California eventually. If it pops off.

Yeah. We had no Topgolfs, and now all of a sudden there's like four in Southern California. I know. I know, right? Yeah. Why I did not think you were going with that direction is because I did see on Instagram that they opened in Katy, Texas, which is a suburb of Houston, the home run dugout, which is the baseball version of Topgolf.

Oh, yeah. That's where I thought you were going with this. Oh, okay. So you said mini golf. I was like, oh, that's not what I was thinking. But is that associated with Topgolf or they're just calling it the Topgolf? They call it the Topgolf or the baseball version of Topgolf. I know Nolan Ryan is an investor in it, which I thought was pretty cool.

That's awesome. I've seen video of how it looks. It's pretty sick. I would love something like that. And that's like they're hitting balls into virtual screens, right? Yeah. And it has like a whole wiffle ball field thing too, which I mean, there's people that do insane wiffle ball stuff.

So that's kind of cool. But i don't know about the virtual screens i'd rather have it be like you know hitting it into a field you know i mean yeah that's true but at that point it's no different than a batting cage i mean it's kind of the same thing well that's what top golf is though right like you just hit the ball down yeah i guess that's the driving range you know yeah i guess it's right yeah i know i guess the virtual like I know, I don't know if you can pick any stadium, but I did see that the stadiums on the virtual screen were minute made park because it's Katie. I guess that's okay.

It's kind of, I thought it was cool. It just reminds me of the terrible hat. I've just never been cool swinging bats inside, like indoors. I just like, that's a recipe for disaster. Yeah.

That's kind of how I felt about like ax throwing and stuff. I'm like, so we're going to give people who are drunk axes. I'm like, now we're giving them bats. Come drink an IPA and throw an axe at a wall. I would do it. Do that and not pay for it. If you want to look it up, it's called Putt Shack.

That's a great name. Hopefully it comes to your town soon. That would be super fun. I'd be all about it. Putt Shack. Putt Shack sounds fun. Yeah. I'm down for that. I mean, the food court sounds fun. Well, I mean, that's the reason That'd be super fun. I'd be all about it. Putt Shack. Putt Shack. Putt Shack sounds fun. Yeah. I'm down for that. I mean, the food court sounds fun. Well, I mean,

that's the reason I'd be going. Let's be real here. Because again, Tyler Kittick said it's hard. He can't bowl it. He can't hit a bat or a blue ball. Speaking about food,

you guys want some food news? Absolutely. Yeah. All right. Food news. Pizza Hut debuts a cheesesteak pizza all in or all out?

A cheesesteak pizza. Yes. Yeah, I'm all in. That sounds good. Two things I all out? A cheese steak pizza. Yes. Yeah, I'm all in. That sounds good. Two things I like. Yeah. I love pizza. It's going to be what?

Cheese, meat, bell peppers? That's pretty much it, right? Yeah. That sounds good. Now, they also have the foldable version. Now, have you seen a Papadia for Papa John's? Yes. It's like a little calzone type thing.

They brought them in the studio, the Woody Show studio the other day, and they also have the, I guess, a hut version of it i thought it was pretty good i was all in that's one thing i've thought about pretty frequently like missing random food drops like i watched i see commercials what are you not getting food drops at the nfl we don't get food drops i see commercials sometimes for stuff like pete like pizza hut or whatever you know burgers and stuff and i'm like damn i bet whatever, you know, burgers and stuff. And I'm like, damn, I bet the Woody show got like randomly one morning,

a bunch of burgers dropped off. Like I normally wouldn't try some of these things, but like, by the way, Randy, we got free tacos. We got a free pizzas, free blaze pizza.

That was dope. I honestly, I still do look back on moments with the show or moments when I was at the building of things I missed out on. Like I will never forget when I got COVID and I miss getting to take a photo with the show or moments when i was at the building of things i missed out on like i will never forget when i got covid and i missed getting to take a photo with the world series the one day i wasn't in the trophy was there and i was i remember being in my apartment sitting there i'm like maybe i could like finagle it and just kind of like show up real fast and take a photo and dip out but i was like yo if the show finds out that i showed up for five minutes they

won the world and we're like dude the world series trophies is gonna be here am570 the dodgers they're gonna bring it through it's gonna be here and yeah sure enough the one day came like covid stuck at home i think that was when you were stuck at the motel the. The safari inn. No, that's not seedy. It's just. Safari boys. It's destiny. It is.

Life is a circle. With the NFL trophy, how many are there out there? Because I feel like I see it all the time. Like I'm around it all the time. I went to CES. Like TCL had it displayed. I went to, I don't know, I went to some NFL thing and Toyota had it displayed. Like just, I could literally just grab it

and probably run away with it. Well, that's a good question because I don't really know because I don't know if you saw the footage, but at the draft, Travis Kelsey, like he shotgunned a beer on it. It's not technically shotgun. This is a different word for it. I can't think of it. And then he sp i can't think of it and then he spiked the trophy he spiked the trophy oh i thought that was like a fake but that's what i'm saying though like i don't know if there's one official official one

and then there's other like replicas that are made so they probably have like a new one every year because i think yeah maybe lombardi is one of the ones that they actually let you hold on to like the stanley cup i know there's two i know they give it like there's one that's touring all the time and there's one that they like they engrave yeah yeah but the lombardi i know is one that they get like a trophy case one so when it comes down to that i don't know because yeah the video of travis it was kelsey right he spiked the hell out of that yeah like no for real it was so it was so hard i was like oh that was just some like story about like uh gronkowski where he like it was so hard i was like oh that was just some like a story about like uh gronkowski where he like he he like was i was like think they're doing something at the red

socks throwing out the memorial first pitches or whatever yeah and he did like a batting practice one dented it right uh-huh but like come back from that you dent the ball it's a funny story it's still probably dented but like kelsey did not hold up from this spiking dude he put some that's why i'm saying that he is gronk 2.0 remember remember when the world was freaking out about how like tom brady threw the trophy that's what i was just gonna say someone else oh my god that's so crazy and he just spiked it up spiked it yeah i would i would love to know the information behind that like reprinting lombardi trophies left and right it's like the least the least like cool one because it's ah just you know 3d print another one

tomorrow well you went over to legion they had a bunch of them on display yeah well those are the ones they actually want so like yeah i'm sure i mean i don't know it's not diamond encrusted or anything so it's not like it's right it's just silver like it's not even platinum i think it's just silver right i did find it weird that when i was out seeing ramstein at the coliseum they did have the lombardi trophy in the center outside the ramstein show i I'm like, why is this here? You just put it every location? There's a story. I forget which old school

rock band it was, but they brought out the Stanley Cup. It was in town. Same thing. Oh, the Stanley Cup. They had no clue what the Stanley Cup was. They put it upside down so the bull was at the bottom. Yeah, the Stanley Cup. It's upside down. Let's get that off the stage, man.

Oh, no. See, now I got to look that up. I know the World Series trophies, I think they reprint them too because I think the teams hold on to those. So I think the Stanley Cup's the only one because if you ever see the Stanley Cup in person, it's like it's dinged up, dude. And like there's like misprints and stuff that are like folklore.

You know, it's, yeah. I mean, Lombardi, I mean, you just 3D print it at your local library. I know. Let's just get one. Oh, it was Def Leppard. Def Leppard disgraced the Stanley Cup on purpose. Allegedly.

Sorry, Joe Elliott. Before we went on a trophy tangent, I did have one more piece of food news. Oh, yeah, that's where this was. Tyler's so hungry. He's like, what else is there? More pizza talk. Well, there's a place that I really liked, and it was kind of falling off, but there's

some news about it. Now, Fuddruckers. Fuddruckers, right? I miss Fuddruckers, bro. I love Fuddruckers. So, Fuddruckers, okay, at its height, had 500 locations. It's down to 92 locations. Wow.

And somebody just bought it, some investor guy, who's apparently really smart, bought the whole franchise and the 92 locations, $18 million. Sick! That is awesome. That's it? That's great. That's it.

That's wild. Dude, so me and Eric worked across the street from a Fuddruckers for years. I can't tell you how much money I spent there every single day i was at that fuddruck build your own burger those milkshakes oh dude you get the tin can at the end because it's always too much for the cup location was perfect because it was right next to like our three movie theaters and the mall so you just go in there and make your own to one in lakewood california yeah after you know weekend trips with my family. I went to the one I would go to.

I don't know if it's still there, but it was down the street from Knott's. Oh, yeah. I think that was one of the last ones to hang on. I don't know if it's still there. The building's still there, but it's not there anymore. But did any of the locations you guys go to have the nacho cheese dispenser? Because you get the chili cheese fries, there's nacho cheese the hell out of it. It's so good.

I'm a part of so many dumb Facebook groups that are full of these old people for some reason. And one of them is, like, History of Burbank. And I remember seeing a photo of one. It was Fudd Records, like, in the 80s. Because it never occurred to me that Fudd Records had been around for so long. And it just made me think the other day, because I was driving through town.

I was like, it's so sad when you pass by the places that you used to go to all the time and now it's like some cafe or something yeah yeah it used to be fun records dude the the fuddruckers that was in lakewood california it's right it was right next to a place called the hop hip-hop r b kind of like it's shouted out in songs and now it's some like cantina and i don't even know what i don't even know what the fudd records is now what happened to the burbank one? It just... Did it get replaced? It just closed up. It was gone.

I thought they put something in that were like pinstripes or something like that, or like Freddy's or something. No, it pretty much just ended, and I think there's something down the street from it, but yeah, no, it just ended from there. I think you're thinking of the places down the street in the corner.

There are some places that still are vacant, which just sucks, man. It's sad. I miss you, Fuddruckers. Yeah, for real. So anyways, this guy has big plans he said that he's gonna go international with fudruckers and he's gonna revamp the brand he could totally pull that off because like any other country like kfc pizza in el salvador the

pizza hut in the capital city is two floors and they do reservations they do fancy stuff they have bands coming in and like australia and the pacific islands kfc is legitimate like we've talked about this it's like christmas food you get it you get it for holidays fuddruckers could totally like pop off well totally and i think that it just had like uh a lot of issues because again covid and they just announced the world health organization said that COVID is officially over. So, you know, with flood records, everything was out on the display. So I say bring back a hometown buffet.

Yes. Bring it back. Immediately. And then bring back, what was the soup? Soup plantation. Yes. Dude, all the locations still have signage up. They're still ready to go.

Just move back in. I need it i swear to god you have no idea how much i'm like this is my healthy spot to eat allegedly healthy spot i need it i want it i deserve it i'm poor i need this money i need the food man come on i mean i must be like blind or something maybe who knows i never saw hometown buffet announced that they were closing their place. They just did it. They did it. They ripped everything out. I saw them take the ice cream dispensers out and sell them. It hurt so bad.

The nearest one for me was in La Habra. I remember I was there one week. It was open. The Chick-fil-A that we would go to was right next door. I think I went to the movies the next week, which is in the same lot. All of a sudden, whole thing's gone. Sign ripped off the top.

Just all of it's gone. Yeah. Out of nowhere. My heart, my soul. My muse. My muse. My flame. Hometown, my flame.

Real quick. So have you fully decided what you guys are going to do tomorrow? No. I think, well, me and randy at least are still thinking about because i think we're gonna be together most of the day tomorrow what we're still figuring it out or randy and i who cares like grammar i uh i will be okay grammar grammar is the thing he was pointing out there yeah that's what he's worried about so originally um we all found like the cool performances that were going on in

town eric and his wife found one they really want to go to uh and then tyler chose one that none of us even even showed the least amount of interest into i won't say which one and uh i'm just kind of like i don't know i'm just sort of playing it by ear i can't tomorrow's a very jam-packed day full of sports and i kind of feel like just sort of chilling drinking some beers playing some slots yeah and i'm watching some sports. I mean, even that, like mine and my wife's plan has now become like, because we went down and walked around the pool this morning. I was like, dude, it's a lot closer to just kind of get down to the pool, have a few drinks.

And yeah, like Randy said, post up at the sports book and just watch some sports. Yeah. That'd be fun. At the win, they always have some of our favorites, you know, Marshmallow, Diplo. Diplo, by the way, Stagecoach. Did we even talk about Stagecoach at all? We did not. Okay.

So Stagecoach, Diplo's tent. I was texting you guys videos just so you could understand like how crazy it was at this country festival inside Diplo's tent. He put out a like a recap video. And, you know, I'm an EDM guy. I've done like EDC forever. Coachella. I was spending a lot of time at the EDM tents and stuff. And,

and I was like, I showed my wife a text to my buddies. Like, there's no reason a country festival should have, should be popping off like this. I don't understand it. And yeah, I mean,

he's got this new, like he's called himself Thomas Wesley. It's like his country persona, I guess. Like, uh, it was a swamp savant or something like that. And it looks sick. It looked lit. And then i have buddies that went they camp out every year and

he's like yeah man the cdm tent and i'm like what are you guys doing i guess the yuma tent was still going on too and i'm like it was still it was crazy and then uh dylan francis who's also here at the win all the time he performed and then my favorite was to um see girl talk who i've not seen in a really long time and i sent you the video and it was just crazy right it's like edm with cowboy hats i didn't understand it was so so strange to me so don't sleep on stage coach i'm telling you guys i uh i was really jealous of that one thing you did with toyota and those like they're doing all the wild ride oh yeah that was really sick yeah that was really cool if you haven't seen you can go to my instagram at menace m-e-n-a-c-e uh toyota at a music festival you can go off-roading that's awesome yeah that's badass

they do just fyi they do make you take a breathalyzer test before so that's smart so it is the first thing that i do when i get to the festival smart is do the off-roading that is very smart and then i enjoy the rest of the festival nice but it was definitely a good time again i'm going to lovers and friends tomorrow but did you guys hear that shack announced that he's gonna do his own music festival do you hear anything about that i did not and i'm intrigued and he said that he's gonna do it by the end of the year i mean it's it's shack man shack is yeah dabbling in literally everything randy sent us a photo of a of a billboard in southern california for uh for shack tober yes yeah yeah it's like

signs everywhere it's like halloween like mays like knott's berry farm has their like yeah it was the queen mary yeah he did that last year though yeah yeah it was still up yeah what are we in may it's like it was still up. It was still up. It was still up. It was still up. Yeah, what are we, in May? It was up in Southern California last week. I just thought it was hilarious. I love when Shaq's involved with anything,

because every time, it's going to be fun, and then his name Shaq has to be incorporated somehow, which is always just the best. I mean, he's a DJ, too. I don't know if you guys... Diesel, right? Yeah, DJ Diesel. I've never seen him live, but I go to the gym, so I just kind of cycle through things and I've

listened to stuff and like, everything is kind of basketball related. It's like hack a shack and find me in the pit. It's like hack a shack. I'm like, I'm like, this is, I mean the dude, he's got what, like the general, he does like printers, he does pizza or Papa John's. He's the new face of Papa John's. Oh, he does Icy Hot. Yeah. Icy Hot. Those are the OG ones. The funny thing about those Icy Hot commercials is there's always, like, the ending point where it's, like, have some, like, chick over him. He's like, oh, I'm Icy Hot.

I'm like, do you realize how big that chick has to be to be standing over the top of Shaq? Yeah, to be proportionate to the shot. Shaq isn't dabbling in everything. I'm surprised he hasn't done a music festival already. A music festival, yeah. And it's probably going to be really good because he has the connections to – people will just do it because they want to be a part of shaq's don't forget nba or tnt and then he has that uh chicken place too oh yeah oh yeah oh and i'll be catered by his food spots dude that dude is so effing rich oh my god that'd be huge could he at least bring back his soda though

shaq soda did any of you guys have that? No. Look, I need soup plantation back. I need hometown buffet back. I need Shaq soda back. Okay. I need this right now. Add that to the list of things that I need back. It makes millions of dollars. All right.

Well, smart guy. We'll tweet him. Random fun fact. Yeah. That'll work. Shaq has the largest single transaction in Walmart history. I think it's over 70 grand he talked about that story right uh i don't remember we talked about but i heard it on his uh because he went on the hot ones with

sean evans yeah and he was talking about when he was traded to phoenix i think it was just went to the walmart and just bought like one of everything inside walmart yeah to yeah yeah it's crazy that's that's insane and then um it's funny that you brought that up because I was just reading about, I forgot what it was. I think it was a jet or something, but Mark Cuban has the largest online transaction in history. That does not surprise me.

Wild and the lightest. Being rich, man. This and the chat of the bargain price that the guy who bought Fuddruckers got. Yeah, right. It's crazy. Go buy Fuddruckers, Shaq.'s crazy go buy fudrickers do it okay uh since we're talking about sports the nfl draft happened we recorded a podcast right before

it was it was happening what are your thoughts on the draft now the only thing that i actually heard about the draft to be honest was and maybe you guys can tell me more about the story that some guy some high level guy didn't get picked but everybody was focusing on his girlfriend well apparently oh wow see tyler quick with the name there it is so what was that all about so i guess his girlfriend like as he kept dropping and dropping because he was a projected first round pick ends up dropping the second round as he's dropping more and more and more his girlfriend just starts to look more and more either tired or annoyed combination of the both and it got to the point where he doesn't get picked and he decides i'm

not going to wait in the green room on the second day i'm just going to watch it from home so they go home he gets drafted they show the video of him getting drafted, girlfriend is nowhere to be seen. So everyone's like, what's going on? What's happening? I mean, it's a long day for his girlfriend to be sitting on the couch with him. And I mean, I'm assuming the ESPN and like all the cameras are in his face.

Look, if my girlfriend is getting drafted, I'm staying there all day, you know? Well, there's, I mean, there's been moments in NFL draft, like, history where, like, the girlfriends become the story. Like, Russell Wilson's girlfriend. Oh, that's the most famous meme. CeeDee Lamb's girlfriend where she, like, picks up his phone and he's like, snatches it out. Yeah, I still try to figure out what that was about. I think he talked about, like, there was, like, it's an agent phone, a side side phone.

I mean, you know, whatever, who knows, but there's always something about like some weird family interaction. I remember, I think the Packers guy, Van Ness had a brother on him.

That was kind of like being a little too in the shot. Yeah. Somebody straight up yanked them out of the screen. So yeah, I remember, I don't remember who it was that got drafted, but his girlfriend just gave him like a big old hug and was on top of him.

And the mom literally grabs her by the back of the shirt, pulls her off. Yeah, a couple years ago. Yeah. But anything else out of the draft that surprised you or you're excited about? I mean, well, okay. Well, for me personally, it's the Falcons taking B. John Robinson.

Oh, my God. He asked her what he's excited about. There we go. There we go. You reminded me. Just how insufferable he was about this. That's the only dude I wanted. You know what surprised me about the draft is that Tyler took that photo

and then posted it on Instagram. Because that photo, bro, I'm sorry, dude. We all know you're a big dude. That was not a flattering photo. I know it wasn't. The helmet looks so tight and the jersey looks so big. I know. What's the pot on Instagram?

What's the pot? It's just kind of the point, man. The armchair GM is kind of the point. It doesn't look flattering. I was so worried about you when I saw that photo. I was like, no, man. Come on. Why?

Why did you do that to yourself? You can at least be like, let me retake this one and maybe shift an angle. Maybe stand up for it. I thought it was funny that it got more likes than the Coachella post. Did not see that coming. Yeah, because everyone likes

to say a golf and sloth demon. Come on, man. We got the guy I wanted. I was happy. That's all I cared about. How are you happy? That's all you want. You don't want them to win?

No, obviously I want them to win, but I'm going to focus on that closer to the season. They were projected for the longest time to take a corner or possibly a quarterback i just wanted the running back who's been the star for like the entire last college season and he's like the number one running back in the country it's something we need it's something arthur smith works really well it's the only thing i want it's desmond ritter and b john robinsoninson is gonna hide his flaws okay you heard it here first amazing um i kind of remember last season you were gonna abandon the the team and you were

gonna pick up a new team uh last season last three seasons yeah i think i think we had joked around about that before but uh there's a tweet out there that I repost a lot of Tyler, just losing it on the Falcons. He can't do it anymore. I can't find it. I can't find it. But the angels, which we have a long streak of not being good at anything at all.

They won a couple of games earlier this season. And he was like, what was it? What is it? It's like, are the eight or the eight or people are, people are talking, the, are the angels, the team in LA people are talking is it? Yeah, it's like, are the angels the team in LA? No, the angels are the better team in LA.

People are talking. I mean, it's just fucking fun. It's not fucking fun. It's not fucking fun. I don't get a chance to brag with my sports teams at all, okay? Yeah. So give me this one moment. Okay.

It's all I ask. All right, everyone, a moment of silence. There you go. That's it. Thank you. All right, there you go. It's more than I've ever gotten. Jesus Christ.

Right now, the Lakers versus Warriors are playing. What's the outlook on that for you guys? That one's going to be close. I mean, Lakers. Analysis. Nice. There will be points that are scored. The Lakers played them really well the first game,

and they just absolutely. It's a combination of the Warriors came out and attacked the second came out and attacked the second game and the likers just didn't show up yeah but you go and you want to win one on the road that's always how it goes yeah which they did so they now have home court so yeah i don't know it's it's uh it's cool to be gonna be here it's gonna be cool to be here in vegas tomorrow night on saturday the 6th of may because you got game two or game three between those two teams you got the golden knights and the oilers playing at T-Mobile down the street.

So that might be my plan tomorrow is to end up somewhere by there for maybe some crowd. Absorb some of that energy. The Kings aren't in anymore, RIP. And then you got Canelo fighting in Mexico. You got a UFC fight in New Jersey, a full slate of baseball. The Kentucky Derby's tomorrow. So my plan tomorrow,

sorry, Leanne, my wife, is to be very, to be like pretty sports centric. But she plays along. We're definitely in the

best place in the world for all this. It's a huge weekend for Vegas, to be honest. I've seen her with a lot of Kings jerseys. Okay,

I know that she's all about him playing. If the Kings would have held up their end of the deal, maybe we could have Oilers playing at T-Mobile down the street. So that might be my plan tomorrow is to end up somewhere by there

for maybe some crowd. Absorb some of that energy. Because the Kings aren't in it anymore, RIP. And then you've got Canelo fighting in Mexico. You've got a UFC fight in New Jersey, a full slate of baseball. The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow. So my plan tomorrow, sorry, Leanne,

my wife, is to be like pretty sports centric. But she plays along. We're definitely in the best place in the world for all this. It's a huge weekend for Vegas,

to be honest. I've seen her with a lot of Kings jerseys. Okay, I know that she's all about him playing. If the Kings would have held up their end of the deal,

maybe we could have, you know, I could have been walking around in a Kings jersey this weekend talking some ish to some fans. Eric and his wife's relationship with sports is fun because his wife gets into it. She's like, oh, go Bills. Go Kings.

My girlfriend's annoying. No, no, no. I'll be like, I've said this multiple times. I'll be like, oh, I love the Packers. And she's like, she doesn't care about sports, like, at all. And she'll be like, oh, who do the Packers play a lot? I'm like, I name the team. She's like what team uh is their rival i'm like oh the the bears she's like oh i like the bears i'm like why what is the word no i i knew i think it's because

no one in her family is really that obsessed with sports and for her to see me have like four favorite teams or obsess over like one or so sports like to her it's like it's foreign like maybe you just need to do what i do so like my wife was not into pro wrestling for like the last few years she saw me watching aew had no interest in it whatsoever all of a sudden she found a couple attractive guys that were wrestlers like darby allen and joey jones she's immediately turned stare at the tv is this every week can we watch one of the gateway guys one of the gateway things to leanne my wife um liking hockey was she liked jeff carter she likes yeah and all of a sudden it's like oh you want to go to a game today yeah it's kind of

interesting weird yeah it doesn't matter you get to go right i get to go to aw shows done that is that is kind of how i got my girlfriend into ducks hockey we went to like this ducks banquet dinner thing and she was like who's the guy with the mustache i'm like i'm like oh that's that's adam henrique and she's like can i take a photo with adam henry i'm like fine all right and she's like yeah and now you have a mustache strange yeah well dude i can't grow facial hair and so like i get jealous of anyone who can grow facial hair and just like decide like shave it all off which i mean if you do it's your choice whatever i don't care i do yeah um but i try to grow mustache this is the best it's ever gonna get it's a little stringy i mean i'm right there with you but now ravey uh has viewed some of our recaps from

coachella she tried to call you guys the mustache boys i said no they are the safari boys and uh she's not a big fan of the mustache on you randy that's fine you know there's a lot of haters there's a lot of haters out there and to be honest to be honest it's like it's a hard look to sell um unless you have like the furry caterpillar going yeah but uh i'm gonna keep with it you know it's a thing that people like it's more of a shock thing and then people just get used to it like same thing when i started like rocking mine it's like oh mustache i'm like yeah yeah and then it's more of like a it's you have to deal with the initial like okay and like no no it looks good but it's just like oh it's like yeah just you have to deal with the initial like, okay. No, no, it looks good, but it's just like, oh, it's like, okay, yeah, just get used to it already, geez.

So I shaved my head a little bit like a mullet. Or Coachella. Yeah, there you go. So I shaved it that way, and I was wearing hats this past weekend. You can tell with the hat on that the sides are shaved. So then people ask questions. Like one or two people ask questions about the hair.

Everybody else, everybody else is like, whoa whoa nice and i'm like it's it's just a mustache it's not like you know but and you had the facial hair before you had like it's not like it's yeah you had some whiskers but the problem is the problem is my whiskers look like gross and it's just and it's so it's so easy just to not keep up with the upkeep of shaving and trimming and stuff. But the problem is everything doesn't grow evenly. So then it's just like patch here, patch there. It's a mess.

I don't razor it down. I go buzzer. I don't do the baby face. I don't do the baby face. I have a little thingy that's put on my face. I don't know what it's called. Not a shaver. A razor?

An electric razor? Yeah, an electric razor. This thing that was invented in the 1950s? I was going to call it a buzzer. I'm like, that's wrong. A buzzer. I don't know why I looked at Tyler for assistance. Like, Tyler, what's the name of this?

Help me with the assist, dude. Guy who hasn't shaved in like 10 years. I literally just trimmed my beard a couple days ago. How do you maintain your beard, Tyler? Yeah. Honestly, if it gets a little too long, it starts to get thick. And if I put my finger through, it gets tangled because my hair is naturally curly. How do you maintain your beard, Tyler?

How do you keep the chin straight? Yeah, so I just get a buzz. I usually put it on a number seven because I like it a little okay like not super short so and then just you know clean up that's amazing your beard hair or your hair hair you like on your head uh probably my hair hair right now yeah let me look let me think what's thicker your beard hair or your hair hair that's that's the question what's thicker is probably my beard can i ask why you never grow your hair out like i think every time I see you, you're always wearing a hat. It gets curly.

Insanely curly. I feel like now of all times is the time to have curly hair. Everyone's doing curly hair. When it gets hot? No, dude. When it gets hot. Yes, Tyler, but there are seasons. Okay, yes, but I already...

I'm a bigger dude. No. So I'm a bigger dude. I already sweat a lot when it my hair is curly doesn't matter what time of year it gets so much hotter and it just easily just like starts when he's waiting more I'm just like yeah how you gonna speak about this what with me man I know this I live have you seen my hair Eric Manikam before we came in it's been a week since I cut my hair, and my hair, the volume.

This dude's hair just grows insanely fast. Like I said, I just sweat more when my hair is a lot thicker. I just can't do it. Honest question, big man to big man. Do you really think it's the hair that's making you sweat? No, no, no. Okay, here's the question. Let's think about it.

But I will sweat more and faster if I have a lot of hair on my head. I understand that. But the question I'm asking you, do you really think it's the hair? I mean, it's a combination of factors. Okay, yeah. But the hair, you know, it plays a part. It adds humidity, you know, it plays a part.

It adds unneeded warmth that I don't want, okay? Well, the point here is I'm jealous of everyone who has facial hair. I wish I could grow more. So I'll settle for the little pencil mustache. Tell me I'm sorry. I know it might be a little uncomfortable, but it's going to be in for now.

Yes. It was so much fun hanging with Randy and Tyler for a little bit here in Las Vegas because somehow we ended up at a mini mall with an aquarium that's right go karts and dinosaur statues and it was kind of just a special moment with these two special guys i can't i have footage to send to you so please check the west dupont instagram to see uh tyler fight a tyrannosaurus rex nice tyler is such a strong word. Tally could hardly walk into the store because of like the salt water smell.

He's like, oh, it's too strong. I can't do it. It was bad. It was really bad. We're like, what is it? What is it? But then we found that there was portholes into the aquarium. We saw prairie dogs. Yeah.

There was such a loop. I know. Oh, Eric would have loved that. Hold on. I just can't go over the salt water smell. No. So you. Took you for a turn. Eric would have loved that. Hold on. I just can't go over it. The saltwater smell took you for a turn. No, you walk in. Because an aquarium has a normal saltwater smell.

Go-kart smell. It was a very interesting combination of things. This thing hits you like a sack of bricks in the face. Just like, oh. Just like Tyler. Just like Tyler. What do you see? A sack of bricks.

And then we went to a thrift store on a rougher side of town let's just say and uh me and brett were like we're down like oh let's do it dude let's run it and tyler's like oh guys he was like he was he was a little sketched out like oh here we're gonna we're gonna go in here i'm like yeah tyler it's a thrift store this thrift store had an unreasonable high amount of 9-11 memorabilia, which was weird. I said it was very classy. And see, here's the thing. My sister lived here for 15 years. I had a lot of family that lived here,

and I would come to town all the time. I want these guys to experience the greater Las Vegas. I don't want them just to be on the strip. I think they should enjoy the wind. They should enjoy Park MGM, all these wonderful casinos. However, I want them to experience everything about Las Vegas.

I was down. When we came and we went to experience everything about las vegas i was when we came and we went to circa stadium swim what was the last year year before whatever we were on fremont street obviously and we had randy like go and just kind of walk through it was like the golden nugget or something oh man you want to see vegas just take a lap touch the back wall and just just come out the other end there you go all right tyler do you have anything to say before we leave? Thanks to the win for basically having us in their studio. This was a really, really nice setup once you walk in here.

Other than that, I'm going to go watch sports and go get drunk and go get something to eat. Oh, wow. All right. Tyler. Not necessarily all in that order. I'll give it to him. The guy's got a plan. We got drinks in my backpack.

Let's just crack this bad boys open. Not in the studio, though. Not trying to ruin it. Yes, please. No.'s got a plan. We got drinks in my backpack. Let's just crack this bad boys open. Not in the studio, though. Yes, please. We are going to go bowling, so don't go get too crazy. That was what I was going to say when my man said, Eric, do you got anything to say? I was like, yeah, I'm about to go beat Tyler's ass at bowling.

Now I can't get super drunk, so now I've got to focus on it. That'll be your excuse. I was buzz-balled up. Let's just focus on. Hey, KB, man. Just that'll be your excuse. Well, I was buzzed, balled up. Let's just go drink. Let's go. Cool. Randy.

First and foremost, thank you so much to the wind for having us in this amazing studio. Shout out to Blue Wire. RIP Fuddruckers. And then number two. So I'm trying to add some art to my wall.

support some artists art collector now we were at the thrift store and i found this really cool piece of a cowboy holding a gun in a desert and my girlfriend said no so the funny thing is that's not true she said yes it just took her 25 minutes to say yes, and we were gone already. Which is basically no. Funny thing is Randy will send these out to like every now and then, like the group message, like, should I buy this? But he'll be like, where should I put this on my wall? It's like, dude, I don't know what your walls look like. What do you want us to do with this information?

I have a mallard duck drawing that's above my cat's little cat tree that looks outside the window because, you know, it's just me and my cat wants to look at a duck.
